Cerebral blood flow and metabolism: Physiology and monitoring

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Cerebral blood flow (CBF) (Fig. 4.1) CBF is tightly regulated because the brain lacks its own stores of glucose and oxygen. With normal blood glucose and oxygen content: Normal CBF = ≥50 mL/100 g/min CBF 15-20 mL/100 g/min results in reversible ischemia CBF <10-15 mL/100 g/min results in irreversible ischemia
