Assessment of Cerebral Autoregulation in the Perifocal Zone of a Chronic Subdural Hematoma.

Introduction: The knowledge of conservative treatment modalities for a chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is still based on low-grade evidence. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the condition of the microcirculation and autoregulation in the perifocal CSDH zone for understanding of the mechanism of CSDH development.

Methods: Cerebral microcirculation was evaluated in patients with the aid of brain perfusion computed tomography (PCT) within the first day.

Microcirculatory Biomarkers of Secondary Cerebral Ischemia in Traumatic Brain Injury.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to study changes in cerebral microcirculation parameters in the development of secondary cerebral ischemia (SCI).

Methods: A total of 202 patients with a Glasgow Coma Scale score ≤ 12 after experiencing a traumatic brain injury (TBI) were recruited for the study within 6 h of the injury. All patients were subjected to perfusion computed tomography.
