Measurements of CO2 reactivity and barbiturate reactivity in patients with severe head injury

Acta neurochirurgica

Abstract

In nine patients with severe head injury subjected to continuous hyperventilation and barbiturate coma treatment with pentobarbitone, the regional cerebral blood flow was measured as initial slope index (ISI) with a 32 channel Cerebrograph, and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) was calculated as the product of mean global CBF and the arterio-venous oxygen content difference. CBF was measured at strategic intervals either to follow the treatment (hyperventilation and/or pentobarbitone), or to determine whether these principles of treatment should be intensified or reduced. During the flow measurements the CO2 reactivity and the reactivity to a bolus injection of thiopentone 5 mg/kg were calculated globally and regionally. The global CO2 reactivity was calculated as relative (%change CBF/delta PaCO2 mmHg) and absolute (deltaCBF/deltaPaCO2 mmHg), and the reactivity to barbiturate was calculated globally as delta CMRO2, and regionally as %change rCBF. The absolute and relative global CO2 reactivities correlated positively with the mean CBF values before hyperventilation, and the global barbiturate reactivity was dependent on the CMRO2 value obtained before hyperventilation. However, at low levels of CMRO2 ranging between 1....Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
