The study shows that even a slight rise in intracranial pressure without clinically detectable ischaemia may result in elevated plasma and CSF catecholamine levels. Although catecholamine values are not routine parameters, they can be used in developing procedures to protect the brain in neurosurgical patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
