Associations Between Intracranial Pressure Extremes and Continuous Metrics of Cerebrovascular Pressure Reactivity in Acute Traumatic Neural Injury: A Scoping Review

Cerebrovascular pressure reactivity plays a key role in maintaining constant cerebral blood flow. Unfortunately, this mechanism is often impaired in acute traumatic neural injury states, exposing the already injured brain to further pressure-passive insults. While there has been much work on the ass...

description Cerebrovascular pressure reactivity plays a key role in maintaining constant cerebral blood flow. Unfortunately, this mechanism is often impaired in acute traumatic neural injury states, exposing the already injured brain to further pressure-passive insults. While there has been much work on the association between impaired cerebrovascular reactivity following moderate/severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and worse long-term outcomes, there is yet to be a comprehensive review on the association between cerebrovascular pressure reactivity and intracranial pressure (ICP) extremes. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review of the literature for all studies presenting a quantifiable statistical association between a continuous measure of cerebrovascular pressure reactivity and ICP in a human TBI cohort. The methodology described in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews was used. BIOSIS, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Global Health, MEDLINE, and SCOPUS were all searched from their inceptions to March of 2023 for relevant articles. Full-length original works with a sample size of ≥10 patients with moderate/severe TBI were included in this review. Data were reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. A total of 16 articles were included in this review. Studies varied in population characteristics and statistical tests used. Five studies looked at transcranial Doppler-based indices and 13 looked at ICP-based indices. All but two studies were able to present a statistically significant association between cerebrovascular pressure reactivity and ICP. Based on the findings of this review, impaired reactivity seems to be associated with elevated ICP and reduced ICP waveform complexity. This relationship may allow for the calculation of patient-specific ICP thresholds, past which cerebrovascular reactivity becomes persistently deranged. However, further work is required to better understand this relationship and improve algorithmic derivation of such individualized ICP thresholds.
