In this study, we investigated the blood flow velocity changes in orbital arteries by using Doppler sonography in eight patients with brain death. Peak-systolic and end-diastolic velocities and resistive indices of the ophthalmic and central retinal arteries were evaluated. We observed the absence or reversal of end-diastolic blood flow in these arteries. To our knowledge, this finding has not been previously reported to be associated with brain death.
在本研究中,我们使用多普勒超声检查法对8例脑死亡患者的眼眶动脉血流速度变化进行了研究。评估了眼动脉和视网膜中央动脉的收缩期峰值速度、舒张末期速度及阻力指数。我们观察到这些动脉舒张末期血流缺失或反向。据我们所知,这一发现此前尚未被报道与脑死亡相关。
