Cerebral Blood Flow and Intracranial Pressure

Download – Cerebral Blood Flow and Intracranial Pressure

The normal adult skull can be considered as a bony box of fixed volume, containing brain, blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). An understanding of how these components interact is essential in managing normal patients under anaesthesia and those with intracranial pathology. These factors will be considered in two sections – cerebral blood flow and intracranial pressure.
