Abstract:
Experience with Doppler sonographic pulse curve analysis is given from 40 glaucoma patients (examination of the temporal posterior ciliary artery), and from premature babies (blood flow in the anterior cerebral artery). In the latter group the reaction to pain and stress connected with blood sampling was studied. In the glaucoma patients focus was on the influence of IOP level on vascular autoregulation, and the possible response to therapy with beta-blockers. Describing an averaging technique, methodological problems are discussed as relevant for the detection of changes in flow and velocity in small blood vessels.
