16
Q

CBF and CBV

A

They run in parallel
CBV less magnitude in change compared to CBF

17
Q

Ketamine CBF MAP CMR

A

Increases all

18
Q

Drugs that decrease CBF and CMR

A

Thiopental the most
Prop > Etom > Dex > Fent > Diaz > Morph

19
Q

Vasodilation potency of vapors

A

Halo > Enof > Dexf > Isof > Sevo

20
Q

Scoline valid for RSI in TBI?

A

Yes. No changes in ICP (1 mg/kg)

21
Q

What to use to control seizures in status epilepticus?

A

Iso

22
Q

Use of mild Hypothermia

A

32-34, 24 h max
For cardiac arrest. For GCS <7

23
Q

When restored normotension in patient with cerebral ischemia

A

ASAP. 70-80 MAP

24
Q

MAC and CBF / CMR

A

0.5 Decrease both
1 CBF unchanged. CMR suppression
> 1 Decrease CMR, increase CBF

25
Q

MAP at CBF 25mg/100ml/min

A

25 mmHg

26
Q

CBF for EEG supression

A

15 ml/100mg/min

27
Q

CBF thresholds

A

< 20 Ischemia
< 15 penumbra
6-10 Irreversible damage

28
Q

Vasopressors and CBF

A

Nor / Phenylep No changes
Alpha 1 Midodrine increase velocity

29

A

Glucose levels

30
