Does transcranial Doppler detect early ischemic stroke in deeply sedated patients after cardiac arrest?
Transcranial Doppler may be a useful tool for the early detection of ischemic stroke in deeply sedated patients following major hemodynamic instability.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May aid early stroke detection in sedated post-arrest patients; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Carbutti et al. (2003) conducted a case report in Ischemic stroke after cardiac arrest (n=1). Transcranial Doppler (TCD) was evaluated on Cerebral perfusion defects. Transcranial Doppler successfully documented asymmetrical cerebral blood flow, enabling the early diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke in a deeply sedated patient after cardiac arrest.
