TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Rehabilitative treatment of hypoxic brain injury JO - Neurologie und Rehabilitation: die Zeitschrift für Neurologische Rehabilitation und Prävention : offizielles Organ der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Neurologische Rehabilitation A1 - Koch, H.J. A1 - Watzl, S. SP - 281 EP - 284 VL - 13 IS - 5 N2 - Hypoxic brain injuries are severe consequences of cardiac and pulmonary events requiring resuscitation, trauma, massive bloodloss or suicide attempts. The circadian course of body temperature, heart rate and blood pressure of 13 patients who were admitted into a neurologic rehabilitation intensive care unit after hypoxic brain injury are analysed retrospectively. Chronograms revealed a loss of diurnal variation of the investigated parameters (ANOVA). Particularly, the increase of heart rate and blood pressure during morning hours could not be verified. The results can be explained by damage of oscillatory neurons in the diencephalon and the medulla oblongata as a consequence of cerebral hypoxia. © Hippocampus Verlag 2007.
