Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Rapid bedside determination of cerebral blood pressure autoregulation (AR) may improve clinical utility. We tested the hypothesis that cerebral hemoglobin oxygenation (HbDiff) and cerebral hemoglobin volume (HbTotal) measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) would correlate with cerebral blood flow (CBF) after single dose phenylephrine (PE). Critically ill patients requiring artificial ventilation and arterial lines were eligible. During rapid blood pressure rise induced by i.v. PE-bolus, ΔHbDiff and ΔHbTotal were calculated by subtracting values at baseline ("normotension") from values at peak blood pressure elevation ("hypertension"). With the aid of NIRS and bolus injection of indocyanine green, relative measures of CBF, called blood flow index (BFI), were determined during "normotension" and during "hypertension". BFI during "hypertension" was expressed as percentage from BFI during "normotension" (BFI%). Autoregulation indices (ARI) were calculated by dividing BFI%, ΔHbDiff and ΔHbTotal by the concommittant change in blood pressure. In 24 patients (11 newborns, 13 children) significant correlations between BFI% and ΔHbDiff (or ΔHbTotal) were found. In addition, the associations between hemoglobin based ARI and BFI% based ARI were significant with correlation coefficients of 0.73 (or 0.72). Rapid determination of dynamic AR with the aid of cerebral hemoglobin signals and PE-bolus appears to be reliable. ABBREVIATIONS:
