Popis: Perfusion of the cerebral cortex during closed chest CPR in dogs, generating systolic pressures of 60 to 70 mmHg, is only 10% of pre-arrest blood flow. In contrast, internal cardiac massage produces normal cortical perfusion rates. Following a 20-min perfusion arrest, during pressure controlled reperfusion, cortical flow rates decay to less than 20% normal after 90 min of reperfusion. This appears to be due to increasing cerebral vascular resistance, and is not due to rising intracranial pressure. The post-arrest cortical hypoperfusion syndrome is prolonged with cortical flow remaining below 20% normal up to 18 hr post arrest. The use of a variety of calcium antagonists, including flunarizine, lidoflazine, verapamil, and Mg 2+ , immediately post-resuscitation maintains cerebral vascular resistance and cortical perfusion at normal levels. A prospective blind trial of the calcium antagonist lidoflazine following a 15-min cardiac arrest in dogs and resuscitation by internal massage, demonstrates amelioration of neurologic deficit in the early post-resuscitation period.
