Title: Blood flow and oxygen consumption of the focally traumatized monkey brain. Author: Martins AN, Doyle TF. Journal: J Neurosurg; 1977 Sep; 47(3):346-52. PubMed ID: 408466. Abstract: The exposed left superior frontal gyrus of the anesthetized macaque brain was focally traumatized by a jet of compressed air. Focal blood flow in tissue around the lesion and total cerebral blood flow was determined before and during the 4 hours after trauma by the hydrogen clearance technique. Blood flow fell in tissue adjacent to the injured brain but the reduction was not statistically significant. Total cerebral blood flow, blood flow in the right superior-frontal gyrus, and oxygen consumption of the brain was unaffected by the trauma. The authors conclude that neither spreading ischemia within uninjured tissue surrounding focally traumatized brain nor posttraumatic diaschisis is readily provoked in the anesthetized brain of the monkey.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
