[The importance of transcranial doppler ultrasound monitoring for prevention of intraoperative cerebral ischemia].

Objective: To determine the possibility of using transcranial ultrasound dopplerography (TCDG) in assessment of unfavorable changes in cerebral blood circulation which lead to the development of intraoperative cerebral ischemia.

Material And Methods: We studied 55 patients who underwent vascular surgery or neurosurgical interventions. Changes in the systemic hemodynamics of ischemic character were recorded during the surgery in all patients.
