Abstract

The effects of a mixture of diazepam and fentanyl on cerebral blood flow (c.b.f.) and cerebral metabolism of oxygen (CMRo2) were studied in eight normal subjects and 13 patients with organic brain disease. The coupling of flow and metabolism and the carbon dioxide responsiveness of the c.b.f. were studied also. In the normal subjects the injection of the mixture resulted in a significant decrease in c.b.f. (34%), and a similar decrease in CMRo2 (34.5%). The vasoreactivity of the brain to carbon dioxide was maintained. C.b.f. decreased in all patients with intracranial pathology. © 1978 Macmillan Journals Ltd.
