Dissociation of Cerebral Blood Flow and Femoral Artery Blood Pressure Pulsatility After Cardiac Arrest and Resuscitation in a Rodent Model: Implications for Neurological Recovery

摘要

Impaired neurological function affects 85% to 90% of cardiac arrest ( ) survivors. Pulsatile blood flow may play an important role in neurological recovery after . Cerebral blood flow ( ) pulsatility immediately, during, and after and resuscitation has not been investigated. We characterized the effects of asphyxial on short‐term (<2 hours after ) and femoral arterial blood pressure ( ) pulsatility and studied their relationship to cerebrovascular resistance ( ) and short‐term neuroelectrical recovery.
