The Effect of Hypoxia on Intracranial Pressure and Cerebral Blood Flow

  • Conference paper
Intracranial Pressure VIII

Abstract

The cerebrovascular response to oxygen has been well described previously by McDowall and others [3, 5]. These studies were primarily directed towards observing changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF), rather than intracranial pressure (ICP). ICP was often not recorded, or if it was, a fluid filled catheter or cisternal needle and external transducer were used. In view of advances in ICP methodology in the form of catheter tip transducers, we decided to reinvestigate the ICP and CBF responses to hypoxia using this technique. We were also interested in the relationship between ICP and CBF.
