Transcranial Doppler estimation of cerebral blood flow and cerebrovascular conductance during modified rebreathing

Open access

Abstract

Clinical transcranial Doppler assessment of cerebral vasomotor reactivity (CVMR) uses linear regression of cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) vs. end-tidal CO 2 (Pet CO 2) under steady-state conditions. However, the cerebral blood flow (CBF)-Pet CO 2 relationship is nonlinear, even for moderate changes in CO 2. Moreover, CBF is increased by increases in arterial blood pressure (ABP) during hypercapnia. We used a modified rebreathing protocol to estimate CVMR during transient breath-by-breath changes in CBFV and Pet CO 2. Ten healthy subjects (6 men) performed 15 s of hyperventilation followed by 5 min of rebreathing, with supplemental O 2 to maintain arterial oxygen saturation constant. To minimize effects of changes in ABP on CVMR estimation, cerebrovascular conductance index (CVCi) was calculated. CBFV-Pet CO 2 and CVCi-Pet CO 2 relationships were quantified by both linear and nonlinear logistic regression. In three subjects, muscle sympathetic nerve activity was recorded. From hyperventilation to rebreathing, robust changes occurred in Pet CO 2 (20–61 Torr), CBFV (−44 to +104% of baseline), CVCi (−39 to +64%), and ABP (−19 to +23%) (all P < 0.01). Muscle sympathetic nerve activity increased by 446% during hypercapnia. The linear regression slope of CVCi vs. Pet CO 2 was less steep than that of CBFV (3 vs. 5%/Torr; P = 0.01). Logistic regression of CBF-Pet CO 2 ( r 2 = 0.97) and CVCi-Pet CO 2 ( r 2 = 0.93) was superior to linear regression ( r 2 = 0.91, r 2 = 0.85; P = 0.01). CVMR was maximal (6–8%/Torr) for Pet CO 2 of 40–50 Torr. In conclusion, CBFV and CVCi responses to transient changes in Pet CO 2 can be described by a nonlinear logistic function, indicating that CVMR estimation varies within the range from hypocapnia to hypercapnia. Furthermore, quantification of the CVCi-Pet CO 2 relationship may minimize the effects of changes in ABP on the estimation of CVMR. The method developed provides insight into CVMR under transient breath-by-breath changes in CO 2.

  • In healthy individuals, voluntary hyperventilation from a PCO2 of 40 down to 20 mmHg leads to reductions in cerebral blood flow of approximately 50%, which is markedly more than can be achieved through orthostatic stress by lower body negative pressure alone.

    “In healthy individuals, voluntary hyperventilation from a PCO2 of 40 down to 20 mmHg leads to reductions in CBF of approximately 50% (Claassen et al., 2007), which is markedly more than can be achieved through orthostatic stress by lower body negative pressure alone (Levine et al., 1994).”
  • Because hypocapnia leads to both cerebral vasoconstriction and peripheral vasodilation, it is likely to contribute to pooling of blood in the periphery and reductions in cerebral blood flow, and could thus become a critical factor in inducing fainting.

    “Because hypocapnia leads to both cerebral vasoconstriction (Claassen et al., 2007) and peripheral vasodilation (Norcliff-Kaufmann et al., 2008), it is likely to contribute to pooling of blood in the periphery and reductions in cerebral blood flow (CBF), and could thus become a critical factor in inducing fainting.”
  • Following voluntary hyperventilation, rebreathing to increase PCO2 from 20 to 60 mmHg leads to an almost three-fold increase in cerebral blood flow, and more than 100% from a baseline of 40 mmHg.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
