Abstract:
Objective To establish the animal model of acute intracranial hypertension,investigate the changes of transeranial Doppler patterns in raised intraeranial pressure so that the necessary experimental evidence will be provided to clinical experience for monitoring intraeranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) using transeranial Doppler non-invasively. Methods Acute intraeranial hypertension was induced by inflating the balloon inserted into the epidural space. Blood flow velocity of basilar artery was measured with transcranial Doppler and intracranial pressure as well as cerebral perfusion pressure was measured. Results With progressive increase of intracranial pressure five characteristic flow patterns were observed, appearing in the following order: high resistance pattern, systolic flow, retrograde diastolic flow, very small systolic flow and zero flow. Conclusions Analysing patterns of TCD may be helpful for evaluating ICP and CPP qualitatively. The animal model is simple and strict so that it is worthy of being spreadcd.
