Indications for Cerebral Protection

  • Chapter

  • 42 Accesses

Abstract

A large number of patients who have survived cardiac arrest suffer from cerebral sequelae and eventually die because of this. More than 20% of the survivors present with permanent cerebral defects (1,15,25). These simple clinical facts will always initiate attempts to improve clinical outcome after cerebral ischemia. All brain protective measures have to aim at an optimal cerebral perfusion pressure, a low intracranial pressure and a normal arterial pressure (5,6).
