Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between the variation of cerebrospinal fluid pulse pressure and that of intracranial perfusion pressure during the process of increasing intracranial pressure.Methods Fourteen dogs were installed epidurally with latex sacculus to establish models of increased intracranial pressure. The degree of intracranial pressure and volume could be altered by changing the volume of fluid in the sacculus. During the process, pressure transducers were arranged to monitor and record the systematic blood pressure and the variation of the pressure of cerebral ventricle and lumbar subarachnoid space.Results With the continual increasement of intracranial pressure, the cerebral perfusion pressure decreased, and the cerebrospinal fluid pulse pressure correspondingly increased. A positive linear relationship between the variation of intracranial pressure and that of cerebrospinal fluid pulse pressure and a negative linear relationship between the variation of cerebral perfusion pressure and that of cerebrospinal fluid pulse pressure were found.Conclusion During the experimental process of increased intracranial pressure, with the decrease of cerebral perfusion pressure , the cerebrospinal fluid pulse pressure increases. The relationship of variations between them shows a negative linear one. It seems that in the circumstances when the autoregulation of cerebral vessel is injured, the variations of cerebrospinal fluid pulse pressure may produce some useful information as to the changes of intracranial blood flow.
