Factors influencing cerebral blood flow velocit

Factor change in CBFV
Age Increase up 6-10 yr then decrease
Sex Women > men
Pregnancy Decrement in the III Trimester
Hematocrit Increase with decreasing Hct
PCO2 Increase with increasing PCO2
Main Arterial pressure increase with increasing MAP

CBFV: Cerebral blood flow velocity; MAP: Mean arterial pressure.
