“…During the subacute period, cerebral perfusion varies with CPP instead of being linked to neuronal activity. 47,48 In humans, in the first 24 to 48 hours after resuscitation from cardiac arrest, increased cerebral vascular resistance, decreased CBF, decreased cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen consumption (CMRO 2 ), and decreased glucose consumption are present. [53][54][55][56] Although the results of animal studies are contradictory in terms of the coupling of CBF and CMRO 2 during this period, 57,58 human data indicate that global CBF is adequate to meet oxidative metabolic demands.…”
