Transcranial ultrasound analysis of cerebral blood flow during induced hypertension in acute ischemic stroke - a case seriesCritical Ultrasound Journal - Tập 5 - Trang 1-5 - 2013
Jonathan List, Jens E Röhl, Florian Doepp, José M Valdueza, Stephan J Schreiber
Current recommendations of stroke treatment favour a moderately elevated blood pressure in the acute phase, based on the concept of an improved cerebral perfusion. Here, cerebral blood flow was assessed in a case series of patients with acute hemodynamic stroke by means of transcranial colour-coded sonography (TCCS) to study the effects of pharmacologically induced hypertension. We investigated si...... hiện toàn bộ

An accurate physical examination is essential in the care of critically ill and injured patients. However, to diagnose or exclude a pneumothorax, chest auscultation is unreliable compared to lung ultrasonography. In the dynamic prehospital environment, it is desirable to have the best possible ultrasound transducer readily available. The objective is to assess the difference between a linear-array...... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract
Background
Evaluation of pupillary light reflex (PLR) is an important neurological test with a variety of clinical applications. Obstacles such as severe soft tissue damage or hyphema may obstruct the visual access to the pupil, thus rendering direct PLR observation difficult or impossib...... hiện toàn bộ
