Adequate cerebral perfusion is a major challenge in ICU children with severe infections of the central nervous system (CNS).
To establish the optimal indicators of systemic and cerebral perfusion in children with CNS infections and catecholamine support.
There were 100 children aged 3.5±2.6 years with severe CNS infections. GCS score at admission was 8.8±2.4 points. To assess the effectiveness of cerebral perfusion, we measured optic nerve diameter and performed transcranial Doppler neurosonography with calculation of resistance index in the middle cerebral artery. Oxygen saturation in brain parenchyma was assessed in 30 patients by using of cerebral oximetry. We measured transverse dimensions of hemispheres and lateral ventricles in all patients. All examinations were conducted in 1, 3 and 5 days after admission to ICU.
The only significant indicator was resistance index in the middle cerebral artery. This value was significantly higher in deceased patients (0.65±0.11 vs 0.48±0.16; p<0.05). A correlation between optic disc diameter and GCS score was revealed (R=0.52; p<0.005). Severity of cardiovascular dysfunction correlated with resistance index in the middle cerebral artery (R=0.61; p<0.005). Optic disc diameter was not associated with outcomes of disease. Optimal cerebral perfusion is observed in patients with mean blood pressure 55—75 mm Hg.
Mean blood pressure should be maintained within 55—75 mm Hg in children with severe CNS infections requiring hemodynamic support.
