Treatment for a low CPP should be aimed at correcting the underlying cause i. When brain injury occurs, cerebral capillaries can become "leaky" or more permeable to water. In addition, cerebral blood vessels may dilate in response to brain tissue injury, hypoxemia, hypercarbia, acidosis or hypotension. When combined with increased capillary permeability or cerebral vasodilation, blood flow can increase to the point where brain edema worsens.
The goal for maintaining the CPP is to ensure that the CPP is high enough to perfuse the brain; while preventing excessive CPP elevations that might worsen any cerebral edema. Critical Care Trauma Centre. Cerebral Pefusion Pressure. Venous pressure changes during orthostasis.

The metric is used to monitor the transit of blood through the coronary arteries. The coronary arteries are blood vessels responsible for supplying your heart with oxygen. If your CPP is low, then this may indicate that your heart is not receiving enough nutrients to function well. CPP needs to be maintained at a specific level in order for the heart to function properly.
If you have heart disease, especially coronary artery disease or heart failure , then understanding how CPP works may be helpful. This article provides details on CPP calculation and regulation. To calculate your CPP you need to know your:. These two variables can be measured and subtracted to determine the CPP. CPP will naturally change with different heart diseases, like coronary artery disease or heart failure. Problems occur when CPP is low because this is a sign that the heart is not receiving enough blood flow.
If your heart is not receiving enough blood flow then it can become irritated and in some cases, ischemia —or tissue damage—can occur. Ischemia is damage that occurs in the heart when the cells in the heart do not have enough oxygen or blood flow. If your heart suffers a large amount of ischemia then it can stop beating—an event known as a cardiac arrest.
CPP can help doctors understand if a heart is at risk for going into cardiac arrest. J Trauma ; 27 : — Fluid thresholds and outcome from severe brain injury.
