During an opiate overdose low blood pressure and lack of oxygen to the brain slows down blood flow and can causes brain damage by way of brain ischemia. Brain ischemia is a process that happens during an opiate overdose due to the severe respiratory depression that results in lack of oxygen. I believe this info is relevant enough to be added to the article under the "Causes" section. There are many articles out there about how an opiate overdose causes brain damage due to lack of oxygen and thus blood flow to the brain. Will watch page and add info after a long enough talk period. I'm hesitant because I question whether brain ischemia happens due to de-oxygenated blood or if the blood flows fine during an opiate withdrawal and it is only oxygen deprived. Because of the severe low blood pressure I find this doubtful. Will research and become more educated on the subject and will update this page accordingly. Furthermore and questions or comments within this talk regarding this question will be taken into consideration. Thank you. Kledsky (talk) 06:51, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
I just want to know exactly what microvascular ischemia is??Girl
I really need help adding an image to this article. This image is at http://rad.usuhs.edu/medpix/medpix_image.html?imageid=20376. Your help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, --Saunc2011 (talk) 15:50, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
The citations that I have placed in with the additions I have made to the article are listed by the number that preceeds them. The citation may be for a whole paragraph of information. Thank you. --Saunc2011 (talk) 20:37, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
I am now working on this article for my AP biology project. If you have any suggestions or interests in this topic just let me know on my talk page! :-) All of the project information can be located through the banner at the top of this page.

Just a few things I noted while I was glancing through -- random things you'll probably get hit with upon GAN:

These two references didn't appear to be be used in the actual article. (If I remember correctly, they were there before the re-write?) Since they aren't foot-noted there really isn't a reason for them to be in the text. Someone might want to put them in some sort of "see also" section? --Yohmom (talk) 19:44, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
This article is unclear and needs to be better structured. It is about the the global classification that involves regional ischemia ( TIAs, and ischemic strokes ) and globals ischemias ( secondary to hypotensives crises )--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:36, 5 April 2009 (UTC) Here is one classification system from UPTODATE BRAIN ISCHEMIA

Brain ischemia can be devided into three different groups: thrombosis, emobolism, and hypoperfusion. Each one of these than has a number of causes Embolism can occur due to atrial fib, infectious endocarditis etc, thrombosis can occur in large or small vessels secondary to diabetese and age. Systemic hypoperfusion occurs with MI, with sepsis. --Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:16, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
On further reading brain ischemia is a subtype of stroke along with Intracerebral hemorrhage and Subarachnoid hemorrhage.--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:20, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
Organized this article but a lot more work needs to be done.--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:22, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I propose that Cerebral infarction be merged here. I realize that cerebral infarction is one cause of brain ischemia is a cause of cerebral infarction and they are different with respect to cause/effect, but the content almost completely overlaps when one gets into the details of symptoms, treatment, epidemiology, etc. The other page was created in Nov 2005 as a redirect to Stroke; a bunch of content was added in Feb 2009 and it grew from there. This page was created in Feb 2006 as a stub and grew from there. This page is better sourced, a slightly higher level, better integrated with the rest of WP, and we should merge here.

Very interesting paper.

"The interruption of blood flow to the brain for ten seconds results in the immediate loss of consciousness."
This is awkward. "The interruption of blood flow to the brain for about ten seconds results in loss of consciousness" would be better. The loss of consciousness is not immediate. It happens after 10 seconds. The subject of the sentence is "interruption," so that's the time base that applies for the remainder of the sentence. Adding "immediate" only introduces an unresolvable temporal conflict within the sentence. Also, "about" should be used to describe the time interval because that time is not the same for everyone. I will check back in a week, and absent any disagreement or discussion, I'll change it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.132.234.128 (talk) 20:31, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
