Abstract

Ischemic injury is characterized by a combination of decreased arterial flow, decreased tissue oxygen, limited availability of energy substrates, anaerobic glycolysis, retention of metabolic end-products (such as lactic acid), and depressed function [5]. The latter, in the case of the brain, is usually reflected in disappearance of delta waves in the electroencephalogram [1].
