摘要
BACKGROUND: Derangement of cerebral metabolism occurs after various insults such as ischemia, traumatic brain injury, and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the course of cerebral blood flow and metabolic parameters in the first hours after experimental SAH.
METHODS: Sixteen Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to SAH using the endovascular filament model or served as controls (8 rats in each group). Local cerebral blood flow and intracranial pressure were measured continuously. Microdialysis samples were acquired in 30-minute intervals for 6 hours after SAH. Concentrations of glucose, lactate, pyruvate, and glutamate were determined.
RESULTS: After induction of SAH, cerebral perfusion pressure and local cerebral blood flow sharply decreased. The decrease in local cerebral blood flow exceeded the decrease in cerebral perfusion pressure throughout the observation period. Glutamate concentrations in microdialysis samples increased sixfold and recovered to baseline levels. Lactate concentrations immediately increased after SAH, recovered incompletely, and remained above the levels of control animals until the end of the sampling period. Pyruvate concentrations showed a delayed increase starting 2 hours after SAH.
CONCLUSION: The course of cerebral blood flow after SAH resembles global ischemia followed by a continuous low-flow state caused by a sudden decrease in cerebral perfusion pressure and acute vasoconstriction. The courses of lactate and pyruvate concentrations indicate a persistently deranged aerobic metabolism.
