vessel territory (Fig.9.3A). TCD can be used for diagnosis and treatment of the postcarotid endar­terectomy “hyperperfusion syndrome” which usu­ally warrants aggressive ABP lowering [11].
9.3.4 Hypoperfusion
A reduced CBFV can be found in different condi­tions like severe TBI, severe intracranial hemor­rhage, severe heart failure, and acute or chronic large vessel stroke (Fig.9.3b). TCD might iden­tify patients with initially asymptomatic vessel stenosis who cannot tolerate hypotensive peri­ods and may develop watershed infarctions [7]. In out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) TCD
bilateral pattern can be seen with intracranial hyperten­sion and low cerebral perfusion state
recordings may reveal individual cerebral hemo­dynamic patterns that are associated with worse outcome. The critical closing pressure (CrCP, mmHg) is high together with high PI and low CBFV values in the rst 24 h after ictus. The CrCP of the cerebral circulation indicates the (“hypothetical”) value of ABP at which CBF approaches zero and can be estimated with dif­ferent TCD-based models [12]. Even short peri­ods of hypoperfusion have been associated with worse clinical outcome and this relationship is much stronger for hypoperfusion in comparison to hyperperfusion. This suggests that individual ABP levels should be maintained at a sufciently high level to avoid secondary ischemic brain injury.

9.3.5 Brain Death
When investigating brain death, TCD/TCCD can show flow patterns that occur with cere­bral circulatory arrest (Fig. 9.4). The most important pattern is the disappearance (or even negative appearance) of diastolic flow in both MCA and vertebral arteries (VA). However, these findings are only valid in patients with a neurological exam that points towards brain death [2]. TCD has a similar diagnostic power to CT angiography and EEG for brain death confirmation. In catastrophic brain injuries— before herniation—flow patterns tend to mir­ror the cerebral circulatory arrest pattern.
left MCA with normal values in the other arteries. This is suspicious for (mild) vasospasm of the left MCA
Generally, it resembles situations of extreme intracranial hypertension, with an extremely high systolic CBFV and a very low diastolic CBFV.
9.4 Applications ofTCD Evaluating Cerebral Perfusion inCommon ICU Pathologies
In this section we provide examples on how TCD can be used in acute stroke, severe TBI, OHCA, and hepatic encephalopathy to evaluate cerebral perfusion or cerebral autoregulation.

However, as TCD is not incorporated in the dif­ferent guidelines for management (except for SAH spasm detection), its use is at present lim­ited to research practice.
9.4.1 Acute Stroke
With TCD intracerebral arterial stenosis is detected when vessel diameter reduction is higher than 50%, which might be an essential informa­tion to guide individual ABP management in the stroke unit [1, 2]. Nowadays, CT/MR angiogra-

phy and perfusion imaging are advised to guide acute stroke treatment, but these modalities are not always available in low-income countries or are limited to academic centers. TCD can be used in a continuous monitoring mode—during or after IV/IA thrombolysis—to conrm success­ful vessel recanalization, to detect reocclusion or low-ow states, and to enhance clot brinolysis [13]. TCCD can be used to identify brain shift in the early phase of malignant MCA stroke and/ or hemorrhagic transformation of infarcted areas and allow timely surgical decompression in eli­gible patients [13].

In combination with continuous (nonin­vasive or invasive) ABP recordings, TCD can inform clinicians about cerebral autoregulation. Most studies relied on linear (cross-spectral or time correlation-based) methods to assess the integrity of autoregulation. Time correla­tion methods use a moving linear correlation between slow waves (10 s averages) of ABP and CBFV (Mxa index). A positive correlation is indicative of passive cerebral vasculature and impaired autoregulation. Zero or negative correlation is indicative of reactive vasculature and intact autoregulation [14]. Dynamic auto­regulation might be impaired during the acute,
subacute, and chronic stroke phase with altered CA over the infarcted side, the contralateral, or both. Impaired autoregulation is associated with clinical deterioration and poor clinical outcome [15]. Especially in comatose patients with large infarcts, neurological worsening might go unnoticed and intermittent neuromon­itoring might ne-tune therapies for optimizing CBF with augmentation of ABP or regulation of CO2 levels [16]. An “optimal” ABP range likely exists, but probably depends on an individual autoregulation variability, temporal and spatial heterogeneity of stroke pathophysiology, and stroke subtype [14].

CBFV (dened as <20cm/s) and high PI (dened as >1.4) are all associated with more aggressive
Although validated pharmacological interven­tions to treat TBI patients are still lacking, CBF manipulations and optimization remain the main­stay of therapy. However, measuring of real-time CBF changes during interventions cannot be achieved by imaging techniques. Nowadays neu­romonitoring is often limited to continuous inva­sive ICP/CPP recordings as estimates of CBF [7]. Different TCD ow patterns have been observed during different phases after the trauma ictus. Authors have reported cerebral hypoperfusion (28%, mean CBFV < 35 cm/s), normal perfu­sion (45%), or vasospastic periods (27%) [17]. The abnormal patterns as well as low diastolic

normal cerebral perfusion, can detect inadvertent hypocapnia due to hyperventilation, and can limit secondary injury. The autoregulation Mx index— the moving correlation index between mean CBFV and CPP—is lower than 0.05in patients with impaired autoregulation, whereas values greater than 0.3 reex high dependency of CBFV on ABP [19]. Impaired cerebral autoregulation has consistently been associated with unfavor­able outcome [17]. Therefore, different research groups have proposed to manipulate CPP cau­tiously to improve CBFV and limit secondary

injury in the initial hypoperfusion phase [5]. At the moment a feasibility and effectiveness study is undertaken to guide CPP—as the driving force for CBF—by invasive autoregulation monitoring (e.g., pressure reactivity index, PRx) results in TBI patients with invasive ICP monitoring [20]. The PRx index is calculated as the moving cor­relation index between 10s values of ABP and ICP.A positive phase II study might denitively extend the options for intermittent TCD monitor­ing and goal-directed therapy at the bedside in the near future [21]. Figure9.5 displays an exam­ple of a multimodal monitoring recording of 4h in a severe TBI patient with robotic TCD probe application (Fig. 9.5). An individual “optimal” CPP (CPPopt) could be estimated using both invasive ICP-derived autoregulation indices (i.e., PRx) and noninvasive TCD-derived autoregula­tion indices (e.g., Mx). The different autoregula­tion indices are plotted against 2.5mmHg bins of CPP and with an automated curve tting method: a CPP value with best preserved autoregulation (most negative value using these indices) can be determined and displayed at the bedside as the CPPopt value [21, 22].
9.4.3 Post-out-of-hospital Cardiac
Arrest Syndrome
Despite recent improvements in the management of OHCA, the survival at hospital discharge is still below 10%. Neurological injury is not only the result of the anoxic period of cardiac arrest, but can also be exacerbated during the post­resuscitation phase due to changes in CBF [12]. Recently, it has been demonstrated with TCD and noninvasive optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurements that some patients might experi­ence periods of intracranial hypertension that probably contributes to the low CBF state and poor outcome [23]. In that way TCD should be able to identify in advance patients under risk of generalized cerebral edema that might benet from longer or more aggressive sedation or tar­geted temperature management.
Recent studies have divided the rst 72h of return after spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in
three phases. Immediately after ROSC, CBFV is characterized by hyperemia for 30min, followed by a hypoperfused phase lasting 6–12h. The third period, from 12 to 72h after ROSC, shows resto­ration of normal CBFV, increased CBFV, or per­sistent decreased CBF [12]. Ra et al. reported that patients with poor neurological outcome had a lower diastolic CBFV and higher PI (CBFV 17cm/s, PI 1.49) compared to patients with good outcome (CBFV 26 cm/s, PI 1.12), despite the absence of differences in systemic ABP.Patients who died prematurely from multiorgan failure were excluded from the outcome analysis [24]. Cerebral autoregulation status might be seen as an important explanation for the observed phases with general impairment in the initial phase and recovery in some patients in a 24–72-h period after ROSC. However, autoregulation measure­ments are hampered by the fact that ABP is kept very stable and therefore not able to challenge the autoregulation process.
9.4.4 Acute Liver Failure
Around half of comatose patients with acute liver failure (ALF) and hepatic encephalopa­thy develop intracranial hypertension with high (around 25%) mortality rates. In 80% of the patients with ALF, the brain ultrasonogra­phy will demonstrate initially hyperemia that probably precedes and/or contributes to the dangerous cerebral edema. With progressing encephalopathy low perfusion states and higher PI values dominate. Multiple mechanisms con­tribute to the pathogenesis, including circulating neurotoxins, systemic inammation, and loss of cerebral autoregulation [25]. Global impaired cerebral autoregulation was found with intermit­tent TCD measurements in ALF patients, which recovered after hepatic function improvement or transplantation. In patients with ALF invasive ICP/CPP monitoring is not advised mainly due to lack of evidence, the associated coagulopa­thy, and the bad clinical condition not allowing most available ICP-lowering therapies. Recently, noninvasive ICP assessment has gained interest with intermittent estimation of ICP/CPP using

The bottom ve panels display CPPopt plots for (1) invasive ICP-derived autoregulation indices PRx, PAx, and RAC and (2) noninvasive TCD­derived autoregulation indices Mx and Sx. All the differ-
ent autoregulation indices seem to indicate that the CPPopt is probably around 61mmHg. Mx is calculated as the moving correlation between mean CBFV and CPP; Sx as the correlation between systolic CBFV and CPP; PAx as the moving correlation between amplitude of ICP and ABP; PRx as the moving correlation between ICP and ABP; RAC as the correlation between amplitude of ICP and CPP. TCD assessment of middle cerebral artery (MCA) CBFV was conducted via a robotic TCD system [21]

TCD parameters. The authors were able to show good negative predictive value with the applied methodology to exclude intracranial hyperten­sion. The noninvasive measurements could be an important future bedside tool to identify intracra­nial hypertensive ALF patients and test out brain­protective therapies [25].

9.5 Conclusion

Both TDC and TCCD are useful to assess non­invasively individual cerebral hemodynamics in critical care patients at the bedside. Innovations like robotic probe vessel tracking might guar­antee reliable measurements for longer periods and will extend the bedside applications to alarm the clinical team for hypo- and hyperperfusion periods and complications like vasospasm or autoregulation impairment. Neurological compli­cations in critically ill patients are very common and focused assessment with TCD/TCCD is an attractive option to improve clinical management and improve clinical outcome.
