Abstract

Cortical thermal clearance provides a practical means of continuous assessment of cerebral blood flow. A probe which can be used to monitor cerebral cortical thermal clearance is described. It has proved a reliable method of predicting oligaemia, showing good correlation between measured thermal clearance and the onset of clinical signs of ischaemia. The limitations are its size, invasiveness, small sample volume and difficulty with quantification. It is a useful additional tool in the management of patients suffering from acute neurosurgical disorders.

摘要

皮质热清除率提供了一种连续评估脑血流量的实用方法。本文描述了一种可用于监测皮质热清除率的探头。它已被证明是预测脑缺血的可靠方法，所测热清除率与缺血临床体征的出现之间显示出良好的相关性。其局限性在于探头尺寸、侵入性、样本量小以及定量困难。它是急性神经外科疾病患者管理中的一种有用的辅助工具。
