Abstract

✓ The authors studied 31 comatose head-injured patients to assess the clinical usefulness of laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) in continuous autoregulation monitoring. The LDF probes were placed on the surface of the cerebral cortex. Data on LDF, intracranial pressure (ICP), and arterial blood pressure (ABP) were recorded and continuously entered into a computer. The data were broken down into multiple segments of 15 minutes' duration (epochs). Epochs showing rapid change in cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), change in CPP of less than 10 mm Hg, LDF values of less than five arbitrary units, and loss of ABP/ICP waveform were excluded from further analysis. A linear relationship between LDF and CPP in individual epochs was used as an indicator of loss of autoregulation. The relationship between LDF and CPP changed with time, indicating improvement or deterioration in autoregulation. Longitudinal analysis of all the epochs measured in a patient revealed three patterns of progress: 1) intact autoregulation; 2) transient loss; and 3) persistent loss of autoregulation. All five patients with intact autoregulation had a good outcome. Ten patients experienced transient loss of autoregulation; of these four had a good outcome, five were moderately disabled, and one was severely disabled. Transient impairment of autoregulation did not always indicate poor outcome, provided the impaired autoregulation responded to treatment. In 11 patients who had persistent loss of autoregulation, nine died and two were severely disabled. In five cases the LDF probe lost contact with the cerebral cortex and no useful information was obtained. Real-time measurement of autoregulation using LDF and CPP monitors was achieved and the findings were related to outcome in these patients.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
