- Abstract:
- Background and purpose: The decrease in cerebral blood flow (CBF) through cerebral vasoconstriction caused by extreme hyperoxia could promote the onset of central nervous system oxygen toxicity during hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO). CBF increases with hypercapnia, but the effects of intermittent hypercapnia during HBO exposure on CBF have not been determined. The aim of the study is to evaluate CBF and cerebrovascular reactivity to hypercapnia during HBO at 2.5 atmospheres absolute (ATA) for 70 min using transcranial doppler sonography (TCD) in healthy volunteers. Methods: 29 adult subjects were studied during a routine compression profile: 2.5 ATA for 70 min. Fifteen subjects received 100% oxygen simulating a HBO treatment, 14 subjects breathed room air. TCD with a 2 MHz probe was used to continuously measure mean blood flow velocities (Vmean) in the middle cerebral artery. Cerebrovascular reactivity was assessed by response to hypercapnia induced by standardized rebreathing. Results: Vmean decreased by 19% during HBO at 2.5 ATA for 70 min, P<0.0001, and returned to baseline within 10 min after end of exposure. Hyperbaric exposure alone did not change Vmean. Heart rate and blood pressure did not differ between groups over time. Hypercapnic cerebral vasodilation tended to be less pronounced in the HBO group, P=0.02 after 30 min at 2.5 ATA, but reversible with termination of hypercapnia. Conclusions: HBO at 2.5 ATA for 70 minutes causes a sustained decrease in CBF, which is reversible within 10 min after end of exposure. Cerebral hypercapnic vasodilation is slightly reduced during HBO and reversible with normocapnia.

Die mittlere Blutflussgeschwindigkeit in der arteria cerebri media fällt um 19% und erreichte 10 min nach der Behandlung wieder den Ausgangswert. Bei alleiniger Überdruckexposition blieb die Blutflussgeschwindigkeit unverändert. Die Gefässerweiterung bei Hypercapni... »
