Abstract
Death from traumatic brain injury has usually been found to occur when intracranial pressure rises to near the level of systemic blood pressure, with arrest of cerebral circulation and subsequent respiratory arrest. The ability of the human cerebral circulation to recover after a period of total ischemia is not known, though CBF and functional brain recovery do occur in certain situations: after cardiac arrest of only a few minutes duration, and after prolonged circulatory arrest during deep hypothermia and anesthesia. With animal experiments both hyperemia and “no reflow” after total cerebral ischemia have been reported.
