11. Cerebral Physiology Flashcards
Dominant Jugular vein
65% Right
Circle of Willis
Anterior circulation from Internal carotids (x2)
Posterior from basilar artery
CSF production and absorption
Produce by choroid plexus. Reabsorbed by arachnoid granules
CSF production 450 ml/ day
CSF volume 150 ml
Cerebral blood flow
50 ml/100mg/min
PO2 in brain veins
40 mmHg
CBF and CMR. Grey vs white matter
Grey matter x 4 vs white
CBF autoregulated from ….
How much time take in case of rapid change in arterial pressure
From 70 - 150 MAP
Takes 3-4 min in case of rapid change (transient decrease in CBF)
Anesthetic drugs that increase CMR
Ketamine NO2
1 degree Celsius change CMR
6 - 7%
Autoregulation MAP and hypocapnia
More influence from Hypocapnia compared to MAP
The limit for an attenuated response of PCO2
25 mmHg
In case of hypotension (<66%) CO2 response
is abolished
In general, a decrease in CO2 affects CBF …
Decreases CBF
Lower limit autoregulation
From 33 as high as 108
In general, a decrease in MAP affects CBV …
Increase CBV to maintain flow
