ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Our objective was to determine whether there is variability in the foundational literature and across centers in how mean arterial blood pressure is measured to calculate cerebral perfusion pressure.METHODS:
We reviewed foundational literature and sent an e-mail survey to members of the Neurocritical Care Society.RESULTS:
Of 32 articles reporting cerebral perfusion pressure data, the reference point for mean arterial blood pressure was identified in 16 10 heart and 6 midbrain. The overall survey response rate was 14.3%. Responses from 31 of 34 (91%) United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties fellowship-accredited Neurointensive Care Units indicated the reference point was most often the heart (74%), followed by the midbrain (16%). Conflicting answers were received from 10%.CONCLUSIONS:
There is substantive heterogeneity in both research reports and clinical practice in how mean arterial blood pressure is measured to determine cerebral perfusion pressure.
