[Effect of papaverine on cerebrospinal fluid and blood acid-base balance in patients with vascular diseases of the brain].

The authors studied the acid-base balance of the CSF, arterial and venous blood in patients with disorders of cerebral circulation by Astrup's method. An analysis of the obtained results detected a certain correlation between the dynamics of clinical signs and changes in the concentration of H ions in the CSF. THese indices may point to connections between the cerebral circulation and changes in the concentration of H ions in the CSF under the influence of papaverine.
