Impaired cerebral circulation
Definition
Cerebral circulation is the blood flow in your brain. It’s important for healthy brain function. Circulating blood supplies your brain with the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function properly.
Pathophysiology
Cerebral blood flow, and its control, vary as a function of age. This review focuses on the perinatal period and compares/contrasts this age period to that of the juvenile/adult. Additionally, this review describes mechanisms important in the control of the cerebral circulation as a function of age during physiologic and pathologic conditions.
Causes
After a major surgery
Post tussive syncope
Prolonged bed rest
Postprandial hypotension
Diagnostic studies
Barium anameia
history
Ineffective Cerebral Tissue Perfusion:
High blood pressure
