Systodiastolic Separation Expresses Cerebral Circulatory Arrest?
Transplantation Proceedings 2018 March
There is a situation before the cerebral circulatory cessation phase, the systodiastolic separation in transcranial Doppler (TCD), which may raise doubts to the operator technician who performs it. A total of 266 studies were performed in 188 neurocritical patients over a 9-year period: 88 cases (77%) corresponded to cerebral circulatory arrest (CCA) which accompanies brain death (BD); 9 (5%) presented the systodiastolic separation pattern. In 1 of those 9 there was persistence of cough reflex and spontaneous breathing; in 5, CCA was not reached; only 3 evolved to CCA. The finding of a minimal persistent neurologic semiology is a categoric fact that would rule out the clinical correlation between this pattern and BD diagnosis.
