Popis: Blood flow velocity (BFV) of the MCA has been studied by TCD of 15 patients with non operated serious cranial trauma, treated with continuous barbiturate therapy. Without hemodynamic and ventilatory modifications (PaCO2), average BFV were lowered during the course of treatment and were raised significantly when it was stopped. This study poses the question of the indication and the methods of barbiturate treatment during serious cranial trauma.
