Excerpt

Both the conjunctiva and the sublingual tissue have a common blood supply via the common carotid artery trunk. Moreover, the conjunctiva receives blood from the internal carotid artery and the sublingual tissue receives from the external carotid artery. We hypothesized that conjunctival and sublingual microcirculation can be used to evaluate intracranial and extracranial perfusion and to monitor therapy to improve cerebral perfusion pressure in patients after head trauma. …
