Comparison of local cerebral blood flow determined by thermal and hydrogen clearance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Local cerebral blood flow (1CBF) was measured simultaneously in ten cats with (1) a large surface thermal diffusion probe resting on the cortex and (2) hydrogen clearance curves from implanted electrodes surrounding the thermal probe. A close correlation was found between 1CBF values obtained by the two methods. Since hydrogen clearance is accepted as quantitative, the data suggest that the thermal diffusion technique is a reliably quantitative means of measuring local cerebral blood flow.

Continuous quantitative local cerebral blood flow measurement. Calibration of thermal conductivity measurements by the hydrogen clearance method.
The capability of a miniaturized probe to measure local cerebral blood flow in a continuous and quantitative manner is described. The incorporation of thermal conductivity measurements using the isothermal principle with the hydrogen clearance method allows calibration of the thermal conductivity component in absolute terms. Evaluation of this system in 14 cats showed a linear relationship betw...

Total Cerebral Blood Flow in the Monkey Measured by Hydrogen Clearance • Simple hydrogen-sensitive polarographical electrodes of thin platinum wire were inserted into the torcular Herophili of Rhesus monkeys. Hydrogen was administered by inhalation for ten minutes, after which the hydrogen clearance was recorded from torcular blood. At a Paco, of 32 mm Hg (SD ± 2.3), flow in the fast flow compa...
متن کاملComparison of thermal clearance measurement of regional cerebral blood flow with radiolabelled microspheres.
A thermal clearance technique for measuring cerebral blood flow is described and compared with the radiolabelled microsphere technique. The thermal technique involves measurement of the rewarming curve generated after bolus infusion of 4-5 ml of ice-cold saline into the common carotid artery with a subdural thermistor placed on the parietal cortex. Evaluation of the biexponential decay curves o...
