Abstract
Internal carotid artery blood flow and arterial pressure were measured with a sine-wave electromagnetic flowmeter and a pressure transducer in 22 patients during control period and after the intravenous and intracarotid administration of norepinephrine, epinephrine, and angiotensin. Intravenous infusion of both norepinephrine and angiotensin was accompanied by an increase in cerebral vascular resistance. Administration of norepinephrine, epinephrine, and angiotensin into the internal carotid artery failed to alter blood flow immediately. However, when the systemic blood pressure increased, a concomitant passive rise in blood flow did not occur. Thus, at this time cerebral vascular resistance was significantly increased. It is concluded that these drugs do not have a direct action on the cerebral vessels, but that the increased cerebral vascular resistance after their administration is due to autoregulation or to a combination of autoregulation and reduced arterial carbon dioxide pressure (PCO2) secondary to hyperventilation.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
