Stroke Knowledge

Pediatric Strokes are increasing with recognition and imaging delays. Limited pediatric stroke knowledge, vague signs & symptoms and no reliable stroke detection tools is the cause. Improving recognition improves outcomes. Objective: To assess utility of Left & Right Cerebral rcSO2 and cerebral blood volume index (CBVI) in Pediatric Stroke Alert and Altered Mental Status (AMS) patients. Methods: Observational study of Stroke Alert & AMS patient’s Cerebral rcSO2 and CBVI. Stroke rcSO2 and CBVI values in stroke patients were compared to controls & AMS (no cerebral pathology) patients. Results: Controls (N=133), Stroke alert (N=25) & AMS stroke (N=52)'s rcSO2, CBVI means were consistent 0-60 minutes. Lower rcSO2 with or without CBVI readings correlated with stroke (Left rcSO2, CBVI (P<0.0001), Right rcSO2 (P=0.0038), CBVI (p=0.0006)). A 19.1% rcSO2 side difference had 100% PPV for stroke. Across 0-60 minutes, rcSO2, CBVI were consistent for stroke & type (Hemorrhagic or Ischemic) (P<0.0001). Left Stroke’s rcSO2, CBVI were lower than Right Strokes (P<0.0001). Hemorrhagic ipsilateral stroke and contralateral side had lower rcSO2, CBVI (P<0.001) then Ischemic. Conclusion: The rcSO2, CBVI difference between sidess objectively and consistently detected stroke, location, and stroke types (Hemorrhagic or Ischemic). A 19.1% rcSO2 differencehad had 100% PPV for detecting strokes demonstrating cerebral oximetry’s utility. Cerebral Oximetry with CBVI has shown its’ potential as an objective screening tool for identify pediatric strokes and types. Cerebral Oximetry with CBVI has potential for expediting stroke recognition and decreasing imaging time.

Ursino, M., C. A. Lodi, S. Rossi, and N. Stocchetti.Intracranial pressure dynamics in patients with acute brain damage. J. Appl. Physiol. 82(4): 1270–1282, 1997.—The time pattern of intracranial pressure (ICP) during pressure-volume index (PVI) tests was analyzed in 20 patients with severe acute brain damage by means of a simple mathematical model. In most cases, a satisfactory fitting between model response and patient data was achieved by adjusting only four parameters: the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) outflow resistance, the intracranial elastance coefficient, and the gain and time constant of cerebral autoregulation. The correlation between the parameter estimates was also analyzed to elucidate the main mechanisms responsible for ICP changes in each patient. Starting from information on the estimated parameter values and their correlation, the patients were classified into two main classes: those with weak autoregulation (8 of 20 patients) and those with strong autoregulation (12 of 20 patients). In the first group of patients, ICP mainly reflects CSF circulation and passive cerebral blood volume changes. In the second group, ICP exhibits paradoxical responses attributable to active changes in cerebral blood volume. Moreover, in two patients of the second group, the time constant of autoregulation is significantly increased (>40 s). The correlation between the parameter estimates was significantly different in the two groups of patients, suggesting the existence of different mechanisms responsible for ICP changes. Moreover, analysis of the correlation between the parameter estimates might give information on the directions of parameter changes that have a greater impact on ICP.

A model in Wistar rats (n = 30, 279-345 g) was developed to study circulatory, respiratory, metabolic, and lethal effects of an intravenous infusion (30 min; 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, and 2.0 mg/kg) of rattlesnake (Crotalus viridis helleri) venom. Venom produced perfusion failure with lactacidemia, hemoconcentration, hypoproteinemia, and death. The severity of poisoning was proportional to the quantity of venom given and to the elevation in lactic acid and hematocrit. Hemorrhages in the diaphragm, intercostal muscles, and intestine were observed at necropsy. In a separate test, rats (n = 12, 311-355 g) received an infusion of 1.5 mg/kg of venom or physiological salt solution. Blood volume was measured 30 min after the end of infusion in both groups with radioiodinated (125I) human serum albumin (RIHSA) and 51Cr-labeled rat red cells. Venom produced a significant reduction in total blood volume index (35%, P less than 0.001), plasma volume index (46%, P less than 0.001), and red cell mass indec (22% P less than 0.005). The slope of the RIHSA-disappearance curve of animals that received venom was more than twice that of the control group. We conclude that perfusion failure following rattlesnake envenomation is associated with hypovolemia due to increases in vascular permeabiltiy and hemorrhage.
