Removal of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been proposed as a means of protecting the spinal cord against ischemic injury during thoracoabdominal aneurysm operations. We investigated the effect of altering CSF pressure (CSFP) on lumbar spinal cord blood flow (SCBF) in an experiment using dogs. The SCBF was measured before and after withdrawal of CSF in settings with and without thoracic aortic clamping. Furthermore, SCBF was measured at the basal state and after elevation of CSFP to 20 mm Hg and to 40 mm Hg. The SCBF did not change significantly before and after removal of CSF in settings both with and without thoracic aortic clamping. Elevation of CSFP significantly reduced SCBF. Elevation of CSFP reduces SCBF, but lowering CSFP per se does not increase SCBF whether the thoracic aorta is occluded or not. This supports the notion that removal of CSF offers spinal cord protection only when CSFP is abnormally elevated. |
