🧠 What happens inside the brain when the heart stops? Some might say everything shuts down instantly. Others might believe activity lingers for only a moment. But what if the reality is far more complex than we think? A new Nature Medicine paper takes a closer look at what unfolds in those moments, offering a rare window into the brain’s physiological state during circulatory arrest. The findings prompt deeper questions about how we define the boundaries between life and loss of function.

🔍 Scan of the Week: Persistent MCA Occlusion in a Post-Thrombectomy Stroke Patient A 73-year-old female presented with a right middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion and right internal carotid artery dissection. Following thrombectomy, Dr. Sebina Bulic at USC Keck Hospital used the NG2 Intelligent Ultrasound for continuous emboli monitoring and reperfusion assessment. Bilateral signals were identified within seconds. The system confirmed a persistent right MCA occlusion and later detected an embolic signature originating from the right internal carotid artery, reinforcing the value of real-time cerebral monitoring at the bedside, where early insight can guide confident post-procedure decisions and help prevent further complications.

Brain monitoring has entered a new era; what once required invasive procedures can now be done safely and non-invasively through transcranial Doppler (TCD) technology. By measuring blood flow velocity in major brain arteries, TCD helps clinicians track cerebral dynamics in real time and detect early changes before they become critical. Our latest blog explores how automation and intelligent analysis are simplifying brain monitoring for clinicians in every setting, from emergency departments to ICUs. It also looks at how these innovations are improving access to timely neurological assessment and reducing barriers that once limited traditional monitoring.

How does the brain shut down before the heart stops? We’re proud to share that two new Nature Medicine papers offer rare physiological data that begin to answer this question. The studies trace the sequence of cerebral and systemic changes that occur in the final stages of life, helping researchers and clinicians better understand how cerebral blood flow behaves as circulation declines. This research adds to the growing body of evidence shaping how the brain is studied and monitored under extreme physiological conditions.

Scan of the Week: Vasospasm Detection in a Patient with Severe Traumatic Brain Injury A 79-year-old female with a traumatic brain injury (Stage 3 TBI, GCS 4 on site) presented with subdural hematoma, temporal parenchymal hematoma, and diffuse subarachnoid bleeding. The patient was sedated and intubated, which made neurological assessment challenging. Using the NG2 Intelligent Ultrasound, the care team performed daily cerebral monitoring to assess for vasospasm. After five days of stable readings, Day 12 revealed new vasospasm when clinical evaluation was not possible (GCS 3). This early detection enabled timely intervention and prevented further deterioration.

Every year, more than 15 million people experience a stroke worldwide. In every case, every second counts. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is helping clinicians act faster by providing real-time insight into blood flow in the brain without needles, radiation, or risk. TCD measures blood flow speed and direction in major brain arteries. It helps detect blockages, emboli, and vessel narrowing within minutes, allowing faster and more precise treatment when time matters most. With new advances in automation and AI, TCD is becoming more accessible and reliable across ICUs, stroke units, and emergency departments. It is more than a diagnostic tool; it is a real-time window into the brain’s circulation that helps protect patients when every second counts.

Scan of the Week: Posterior circulation monitoring during TEVAR A 55-year-old male with a ruptured ascending aortic aneurysm underwent TEVAR with debranching. The Circle of Willis was incomplete with a single PCom, so posterior perfusion was at risk. Using the NG2 Intelligent Ultrasound, the team captured MCAs, navigated to the PCAs, and monitored flow throughout the procedure. During innominate artery clamping and cannulation of the left carotid and subclavian arteries, the right PCA showed high-resistive, retrograde, and diminished flow. The team increased blood pressure. Cerebral perfusion normalised and surgery proceeded as planned. Without real-time TCD, the posterior circulation status would have been uncertain and the patient could have remained mal-perfused.
