Q

ICP refers to pressure where?

A

-Supratentorial

28
Q

What is the Monro-Kelly doctrine?

A

-20

30
Q

What needs to be done with increased ICP?

A

31
Q

What happens to CPP during acidotic states? Alkalotic?

A
  • BF Increase

- BF Decrease

32
Q

What happens to the brain if it gets too acidotic/alkalotic beyond the limits of compensation?

A
  • Vasodilates w/ increases BF in an attempt to wash out waste.
  • Increased blood supply = increases ICP

57
Q

Vasodilators will ______ CBF. Espically what 3?

  • Increase CBF

- SNP,NTG,Trimethephan

58
Q

During low dose inhalation anesthesia, CBF is either _______ or slightly ________. Why?

A
  • Unchanged
  • Slightly increased
  • Vasodilator effect is opposed by a metabolic decrease in flow
59
Q

Higher doses of inhalational agents have a dominance of the vasodilator effect and cause what?

A

-Increase in CBF

60
Q

In general inhalational agents _____ CBF but ______ CMRO2.

A
  • Increase

- Decrease

61
Q

Sevo at 1 MAC ______ CSF production up to _____%

A
  • Depresses

- 40%

62
Q

N2O appears to have an __________ effect and should be avoided in cerebral ischemia and elevated ICP cases.

A

-antineuroprotective

63
Q

What does N2O do to an air embolism?

A

-Expand it, worsen outcomes

64
Q

What syndrome increases local accumulation of metabolic by products? What does this cause?

A
  • Luxury-perfusion syndrome (normocapnia)

- Increased vasodilation and increased flow

65
Q

Describe cerebral steal syndrome(hypercapnia).

A

-An ischemic area of the brain will cause increase in PaCO2 to the brain. This increase will take blood away the ischemic portion (can auto regulate), and direct more blood flow to the normal areas.

66
Q

Describe inverse steal (robin hood) phenomenon. (hypocapnia)

A

-Hypocapnia will reduce blood flow to normal areas of the brain and redistribute it to ischemic regions.

67
Q

What type of glial cells have the most tumors?

A

-Astrocytes (astrocytoma)
