    Experimental rnodel of intracranial hypertension with continuous multiparametric monitoring in swine
    (2013) ANDRADE, Almir Ferreira de; SOARES, Matheus Schmidt; PATRIOTA, Gustavo Cartaxo; BELON, Alessandro Rodrigo; PAIVA, Wellingson Silva; BOR-SENG-SHU, Edson; OLIVEIRA, Marcelo de Lima; NASCIMENTO, Clarissa Nobrega; NOLETO, Gustavo Sousa; ALVES JUNIOR, Aderaldo Costa; FIGUEIREDO, Eberval Gadelha; OTOCH, Jose Pinhata; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen
    Objective: Intracranial hypertension (IN) develops in approximately 50% of all patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Therefore, it is very important to identify a suitable animal model to study and understand the pathophysiology of refractory IH to develop effective treatments. Methods: We describe a new experimental porcine model designed to simulate expansive brain hematoma causing IH. Under anesthesia, was simulated with a balloon insufflation. The IH variables were measured with intracranial pressure (ICP) parenchymal monitoring, epidural, cerebral oximetry, and transcranial Doppler (TCD). Results: None of the animals died during the experiment. The ICP epidural showed a slower rise compared with parenchymal ICP. We found a correlation between ICP and cerebral oximetry. Conclusion: The model described here seems useful to understand some of the pathophysiological characteristics of acute IH.

    Evaluation of cerebral hemodynamics by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography and its correlation with intracranial pressure in an animal model of intracranial hypertension
    (2022) SOARES, Matheus Schmidt; ANDRADE, Almir Ferreira de; BRASIL, Sergio; DE-LIMA-OLIVEIRA, Marcelo; BELON, Alessandro Rodrigo; BOR-SENG-SHU, Edson; NOGUEIRA, Ricardo de Carvalho; GODOY, Daniel Agustin; PAIVA, Wellingson Silva
    Background: Transcranial Doppler has been tested in the evaluation of cerebral hemodynamics as a non-invasive assessment of intracranial pressure (ICP), but there is controversy in the literature about its actual benefit and usefulness in this situation. Objective: To investigate cerebral blood flow assessed by Doppler technique and correlate with the variations of the ICP in the acute phase of intracranial hypertension in an animal model. Methods:An experimental animal model of intracranial hypertension was used. The experiment consisted of two groups of animals in which intracranial balloons were implanted and inflated with 4 mL (A) and 7 mL (B) for controlled simulation of different volumes of hematoma. The values of ICP and Doppler parameters (systolic [FVs], diastolic [FVd], and mean [FVm] cerebral blood flow velocities and pulsatility index [PI]) were collected during the entire procedure (before and during hematoma simulations and venous hypertonic saline infusion intervention). Comparisons between Doppler parameters and ICP monitoring were performed. Results: Twenty pigs were studied, 10 in group A and 10 in group B. A significant correlation between PI and ICP was obtained, especially shortly after abrupt elevation of ICP. There was no correlation between ICP and FVs, FVd or FVm separately. There was also no significant change in ICP after intravenous infusion of hypertonic saline solution. Conclusions:These results demonstrate the potential of PI as a parameter for the evaluation of patients with suspected ICP elevation.
