Monitoring during carotid balloon test occlusion

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses that diagnostic, and treatment approaches to a variety of head neck diseases requires the assessment functional capability cerebral blood flow (CBF). The reason is not all patients can tolerate abrupt occlusion carotid artery in those with no or low tolerance, acute, delayed ischemic events may occur. It evaluation risk procedures might sacrifice cause prolonged temporary internal (ICA). These include surgery for tumors, interventions arteriovenous malformations (AVM), cavernous fistulas, arterial aneurysms, endarterectomy (CEA), myriad other conditions. reviews balloon test (BOT) conjunction n CBF analysis believed help identify who will occlusion. Once system place digital road map visualized, anticoagulation achieved IV bolus heparin. also explores aim neurophysiological monitoring during BOT prompt identification critical changes are suggestive impending ischemia. Carotid occlusions used by interventional neuroradiologists as pretreatment assess procedure, where ICA be sacrificed.
