Abstract The effectiveness of simultaneous intravenous sodium nitroprusside and phenylephrine in improving the cerebrovascular disturbances and survival rate after induced subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) was studied in the cynomolgus monkey. We measured regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) using the intra-arterial xenon-133 clearance technique. In our experimental animal model, SAH was associated with a persistent reduction in rCBF, elevation of cerebrovascular resistance (CVR), cerebral vasospasm for the duration of the study (150 minutes), and poor survival. For animals receiving the treatment regime (administered approximately 25 minutes after the induced SAH), rCBF remained low, CVR was high, and cerebral vasospasm was persistent. Survival in this group was the same as that observed for the untreated animals. Simultaneous administration of sodium nitroprusside and phenylephrine was ineffective in improving rCBF, CVR, cerebral vasospasm. or survival after SAH. In the control group (receiving only the treatment and not an intracranial insult), rCBF was below resting levels both during and after therapy, indicating impaired cerebral autoregulation.

✓ The authors describe a method for Doppler ultrasound recording of flow velocity in the basilar artery of normal rabbits and rabbits with experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). With this transcranial Doppler (TCD) model, clinical assumptions regarding flow velocity/cerebral blood flow (CBF) relationships, autoregulatory responses, and Doppler spectral waveform analysis can be tested under controlled conditions and compared with established methods of CBF measurement (hydrogen clearance). The time course of changes in flow velocity following SAH (cerebral vasospasm) is successfully demonstrated using the experimental TCD method. There are significant differences in the flow velocity and CBF responses to hypercapnia, hypocapnia, and trimethaphan-induced hypotension which indicate that TCD cannot be considered a simple alternative to CBF measurement for the study of cerebrovascular reactivity and cerebral autoregulation.
