In this chapter, we will discuss the utility of transcranial Doppler to assess cerebral hemodynamics and how to apply it to understand the cerebral blood flow changes in acute brain injury. First, we will start by reviewing important cerebral hemodynamics principles such as cerebrovascular resistance, adequate cerebral blood flow, and cerebral autoregulation. We will finalize this chapter by assessing the interpretation of transcranial Doppler in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracranial hypertension, and impending brain death. |
