AbstractThis study evaluated the cerebral ischemic parameters during the rewarming period after therapeutic hypothermia to determine the critical cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) threshold to avoid ischemic deterioration. Cat experimental head injury was induced by inflation of an epidural rubber balloon to maintain intracranial pressure at 30 mmHg under hypothermia. During the rewarming period, CPP was maintained at > or = 120 mmHg, 90 mmHg, and 60 mmHg by controlling the blood pressure. CBF, CMRO2, AVDO2, and cerebral venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) were measured. Brain extracellular glutamate concentrations were also measured by a dialysis electrode. Histological preparations of all brains were examined under an electron microscope. The cerebral metabolic parameters in animals with CPP of more than 90 mmHg returned to the base values after rewarming. However, ScvO2 was significantly lower (27 +/- 6%) and AVDO2 was significantly higher (9.4 +/- 1.8 ml/100 g/min) after rewarming in the animals with CPP = 60 mmHg, which indicated misery perfusion. Animals with CPP = 60 mmHg also showed increased extracellular glutamate concentration and histological ischemic damage (mitochondrial swelling). CPP of 60 mmHg during the rewarming period is associated with irreversible ischemia, which indicates continuation of cerebral vasoconstriction. Therefore, a CPP of greater than 90 mmHg is required to avoid cerebral ischemia.
