From: A novel approach to assess cerebral and coronary perfusion after cardiac arrest
Illustration of absolute cerebral flow and microvascular resistance measurement at baseline and post cardiac arrest resuscitation (upper panel). Absolute coronary flow and microvascular resistances at baseline and post cardiac arrest resuscitation (lower panel). Cerebral angiography showing the arteria anastomica from the right internal carotid (upper panel left side) with the presence of a pressure/temperature wire and an infusion microcatheter. Coronary angiography showing the left descending artery (lower panel left side) with the presence of a pressure/temperature wire and an infusion microcatheter. The right side shows thermodilution tracings at baseline and post cardiac arrest resuscitation with arterial central pressure in red, arterial distal pressure in green and temperature curve in blue. Values of flow and resistances are express in litres per minute and Woods units respectively
