Cerebral Blood Flow, Metabolism, and Head Trauma

Reflecting the most recent advances in our understanding of TBI pathotrajectory, this guide is aimed at a broad range of clinicians. It suggests avenues for future research and focuses on issues such as the role of cerebral blood flow in brain trauma recovery.

Written to satisfy a wide audience, from basic scientist to clinical researcher, this volume explores such varied concepts as: the influence of CBF in the pathotrajectory of TBI, modeling TBI as a means to understand underlying pathological states associated with brain injury victims, disrupted vasculature following head trauma and advanced imaging techniques, vasoreactive substances underlying disrupted blood flow, the role of age and sex on injury outcome, and the latest pre-clinical rationale for focusing on CBF and strategies to improve blood flow as a means to improve outcome in patients suffering the effects of TBI.
