Normal rate of cerebral blood flow through the brain of the adult person averages 50 to 65 milliliters per 100 grams of brain tissue per minute. For the entire brain, this amounts to 750 to 900 ml / min, or 15 per cent of the resting cardiac output.

taken by Brain / Arteriovenous diff. of N2O Monroe-Kellie Doctrine
• The ICP within the skull is directly related
to the volume of the contents. – Defined as the Monroe-Kellie Doctrine
– This doctrine states that any increase in
volume of the contents within the brain must be met with a decrease in the other cranial contents Monroe-Kellie Doctrine Vintracranial vault = Vbrain + Vblood + Vcsf Increased Intracranial Pressure Monroe – Kellie Principle • Brain tissue is not compressible • Though the cerebral arteries are compressed by inc. intracranial or CSF pressure, vol. of brain tissue is not affected. • CSF & Blood vol. varies inversely (Black-out & Red-out) Monroe – Kellie Principle Cushing’s reflex • Inc. in Intracranial or CSF P • Compression of cerebral Blood vessels • Dec. in cerebral blood flow • Activation of vasomotor center • Peripheral vasoconstriction • Inc. in arterial BP • Restoration of cerebral Blood flow When Intra Cranial Pressure becomes very high, this does not come into operation Cushing’s reflex
