The brain shock index: repurposing the Lindegaard ratio for detecting cerebral hypoperfusion in children with cerebral malaria

Abstract Background Transcranial doppler ultrasound (TCD) allows for the assessment of the cerebrovascular hemodynamics in critically ill children. Given the increasing availability of machines equipped with TCD capabilities globally, it may be a useful approach to detect cerebral hypoperfusion and...
