Interest of Transcranial Doppler in the Follow-Up of the Brain-Damaged Patient: About Two Cases - Abstract
Monitoring brain-injured patients using transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCDUS) has profoundly changed our therapeutic attitude. Indeed, EDTC is a noninvasive technique that can be performed at the patient’s bedside. It not only allows us to detect any changes in cerebral perfusion pressure(CPP) early by
monitoring cerebral blood flow (CBF), but also to suspect a state of brain death.
We report here the case of the treatment of two brain-injured patients, one of whom was post-road accident (AVP) with a fatal outcome and the other
with a hemorrhagic type stroke with a favourable outcome, both tracked using the EDTC.
