Measuring cerebral blood flow changes during blood pressure variations in ICU patients
Cerebral Perfusion Variation During Blood Pressure Changes in ICU: Relationship Between Transcranial Doppler, Frontal EEG and Cerebral Oximetry: a Prospective Observational Study
This study is trying to see how changes in blood pressure affect blood flow to the brain in ICU patients, especially looking at those with and without heart risks.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess how cerebral perfusion varies in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) during controlled blood pressure changes. It focuses on non-invasively measuring cerebral blood velocity using transcranial pulsed Doppler (TCD) to ensure that blood pressure levels remain within recommended safety standards during sedation. The study will compare cerebral perfusion and oxygen adequacy in patients with and without cardiovascular risk factors, providing insights into the thresholds for maintaining organ perfusion. The findings could help refine blood pressure management strategies in critically ill patients.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adult patients over 18 years old who require admission to the intensive care unit.
Not a fit: Patients under 18 years of age, pregnant women, or those unable to express their will regarding participation may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved blood pressure management protocols, enhancing organ perfusion and patient outcomes in the ICU.
How similar studies have performed: While the approach of measuring cerebral perfusion during blood pressure variations is established, this specific study's methodology and focus on ICU patients may provide novel insights.
