Pressure autoregulation, intracranial pressure, and brain tissue oxygenation in children with severe traumatic brain injury.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Cerebral pressure autoregulation is an important neuroprotective mechanism that stabilizes cerebral blood flow when blood pressure (BP) changes. In this study the authors examined the association between autoregulation and clinical factors, ... Read more...

Relationship between intracranial hemodynamics and microdialysis markers of energy metabolism and glutamate-glutamine turnover in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Clinical article.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between hemodynamics (intracranial and systemic) and brain tissue energy metabolism, and between hemodynamics and glutamate (Glt)-glutamine (Gln) cycle activity. METHODS: Brain ... Read more...

Impairment of intracerebral arteriole dilation responses after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Laboratory investigation.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Cerebrovascular dysfunction after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may contribute to ischemia, but little is known about the contribution of intracerebral arterioles. In this study, the authors tested the hypothesis that SAH inhibits the ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Blood Pressure'

Definition: PRESSURE of the BLOOD on the ARTERIES and other BLOOD VESSELS.

Descriptor UI: D001794

Alternative terms: Blood Pressure; Pressure, Blood; Systolic Pressure; Pressure, Systolic; Pressures, Systolic; Diastolic Pressure; Pressure, Diastolic; Pulse Pressure; Pressure, Pulse;

Related Mesh Headings: Hypertension; Hypotension;

Technical Notes: GEN; note specifics; "arterial" pressure = BLOOD PRESSURE and not also ARTERIES unless a specific artery; pressure within a specific vessel: coord vessel /physiol (IM) + BLOOD PRESSURE (NIM); do not add SYSTOLE; DIASTOLE; or PULSE unless particularly discussed; with diseases coord IM with disease /physiopathol (IM), not /blood (IM): Manual 23.28; blood pressure vs HYPERTENSION & HYPOTENSION: Manual 23.27+
