21 Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound Pulsatility Index: Utility andClinical Interpretation
367
Cerebral autoregulation (CA) is maintained through variable vascular resistance, wherein the radius of small and large arteries change to maintain constant CBF, over a wide range of CPP values and metabolic changes. Variation in minute ventilation alters the PaCO2 which has a powerful hemodynamic effect in response to meta­bolic supply and demand (coupling).
Therefore, real-time simultaneous monitoring of ICP and MAP allows one to make the best therapeutic decisions to individualize the patient’s CPP.Moreno etal. (2000) describe the relationship between decrease CPP and increase in PI, suggest­ing a reduction of 1 unit in CPP results in an increase in 0.02 units in the PI [29].
Invasive ICP measurement modalities are considered the Gold Standard and are widely used in neurocritical care populations [30]. However, this procedure has a risk of life-threatening complications and has many contraindications related to device placement and misplacement: principally infections, bleeding, and technical failure [3134].
Non-invasive ICP estimation would be helpful in clinical situations where the risk-benet balance of invasive ICP monitoring is unclear or invasive ICP monitor­ing modalities are not immediately available or are contraindicated [35, 36].
Ideally, a non-invasive ICP monitor should be readily available at the bedside in the ICU, inexpensive, accurate, and simple to use. Using Gosling’s pulsatility index, TCD/TCCS, is a validated tool for estimating ICP in certain scenarios [3740].
When trended, TCD/TCCS can be used to give a rough estimate for ICP (corre­lated PI to ICP in clinical practice) [29], but not as a surrogate for accurate invasive ICP monitors. When ICP increases, the intracranial blood ow velocities change (PSV increases and EDV decreases), while cerebral vessels narrow from external pressure resulting in an increased resistance to CBF [35, 38, 41, 42].
The clinical correlation and interpretation of the PI depends of several factors: [7, 9, 41, 43, 44].
1. Pulse amplitude of arterial blood pressure
2. Heart rate (HR)
3. CPP
4. PaCO
2
5. CV
6. Compliance of the arterial bed (Ca)
Non-invasive ICP, based on TCD/TCCS, had been estimated by different hemo­dynamic parameters proposal, such as Gosling’s pulsatility index (PI), Critical Closing Pressure (CrCP), Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter (ONSD), pupillary light reex (PLR), straight sinus systolic ow velocity (SSFV) [45], etc. However, none of these methods seem to be accurate enough to be used as a replacement for inva­sive ICP measurement and, at present, TCD/TCCS is reserved for assessing changes (ICP trends) of non-invasive ICP, rather than absolute ICP.
Other than PI, the mean ow index (Mx) (which is the correlation coefcient between MFV and CPP) and systolic ow index (Sx) (which is the correlation coef­cient between PSV and CPP) are useful parameters for assessing increased ICP [46, 47].

21.5 Transcranial Pulsatility Index (PI): Clinical Factors
toConsider
The performance and clinical interpretation of the pulsatility index depends on the various physiological and pathophysiological conditions as well as the clinical con­text of each critical patient (Table21.3).
We recommend taking into account all cerebrovascular and systemic factors when analyzing a given patient’s PI.Consider the following: (Fig.21.13).
21.5.1 Cardiovascular Factors
The cardiovascular status of the critical patient, with or without acute neurological injury, depends on beat to beat changes in the following hemodynamic parameters:
1.1 CPP (pulsatility pressure)
1.2 CBF (pulsatility ow)
Therefore, the cardiac pulsatility induces real-time changes on the brain pulsatil­ity, resulting in changes in PI (Fig.21.7) [4, 7, 9].
21.5.2 Cerebrovascular Factors
Except in extreme circumstances, during the primary or secondary injury, the brain will adjust intracranial hemodynamic parameters (Table21.3) through intracranial compliance changes (Monro-Kellie Doctrine) [48].

The brain pulsatility is the consequence of the interaction between these hemo­dynamic parameters and intracranial impedance, which will vary during the clinical course of the brain injury (Fig.21.8).
21.5.3 Cardiopulmonary Factors
Maintenance of normal ICP through treatments aimed at affecting the intracranial components which contribute to ICP is critical in patients with acute brain injury (parenchymal volume, CSF volume, and blood volume) [48]. This includes ensur­ing appropriate venous outow, CSF diversion, modication of the parenchymal volume by treatment of edema, and augmentation of the MAP, among others. These factors must be taken into consideration when interpreting a given patient’s PI (Fig.21.9) [5, 49, 50].
21.5.4 Metabolism Factors
Brain oxygenation and metabolism is the conuence of cardiovascular (O2 delivery) and pulmonary systems (gas exchange– ventilation). In the clinical interpretation of the PI, we should consider the following variables: [51, 52] (Fig.21.10).

TCD/TCCS is a useful non-invasive tool in monitoring cerebral perfu­sion over time via MFV and PI.Although there is a lack of data in this arena, moni­toring of trends in MFV and PI as vascular factors are manipulated, such as induced hypertension, allows one to customize each patient’s treatments and hemodynamic parameters [5357] (Fig.21.11).

21.6 Conclusion

Although invasive monitoring is the gold standard, non-invasive monitoring should be considered in certain clinical scenarios. TCD/TCCS, through Gosling’s pulsatil­ity index, is a validated tool for estimating changes in ICP.TCD/TCCS can be used to give a rough estimate for ICP (correlated PI to ICP in clinical practice), but not as a surrogate for accurate invasive ICP monitors. The clinical correlation and interpre­tation of the Gosling’s pulsatility index depends on several factors.
During TCD/TCCS monitoring, it is important to consider the spectral Doppler waveform. Cerebral perfusion is driven primarily by the diastolic component of the TCD/TCCS waveform. Therefore, we recommend that the PI should be interpreted

in conjunction with the spectral Doppler waveform morphology noting qualitative and quantitative changes.
Absolute ICP measurements based on TCD/TCCS have been estimated by various methods. However, none of these methods seem to be accurate enough to be used as a replacement for invasive ICP measurement and, at present, TCD/TCCS is reserved for assessing changes (ICP trends) of non-invasive ICP, rather than absolute ICP.
