Effect of constricting carotid arteries on cerebral blood flow and on cerebrospinal fluid pH, lactate and pyruvate in dogs.

چکیده

Cerebral perfusion pressure was reduced by graded constricting of both carotid arteries in the anesthetized dogs, of which vertebral arteries were ligated bilaterally. Cerebral blood flow and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen remained unchanged until cerebral perfusion pressure was lowered to about 50 mm.Hg, indicating that cerebral autoregulation was preserved normally in these animals. Despite a slight decrease in arterial lactate levels, there was a progressive increase in lactate with a concomitant decrease in pH of cisternal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) even during the autoregulatory range of cerebral perfusion pressure, suggesting that increase in CSF lactate resulted primarily from increase in brain tissue lactate. Increased CSF lactate/pyruvate ratio and decreased cerebral cortical blood flow suggest that brain tissue tends to be hypoxic, although cerebral blood flow remained unchanged. It could be concluded that the mechanism of regulating cerebral blood flow constant in response to lowered perfusion pressure is a function of CSF lactic acidosis resulting from brain tissue hypoxia.

Vibration Analysis of Carotid Arteries Conveying Non-Newtonian Blood Flow Surrounding by Tissues

The high blood rate that often occurs in arteries may play a role in artery failure and tortuosity which leads to blackouts, transitory ischemic attacks and other diseases. However, vibration and instability analysis of carotid arteries are lacking. The objective of this study is to investigate the vibration and instability of the carotid arteries conveying blood under axial tension with surrou...

Lactate in the Cerebrospinal Fluid and Pressure-Flow Relationships in Canine Cerebral Circulation • In 11 dogs, lactate and pH in the cerebrospinal fluid and in the arterial and the venous blood were measured during stepwise reductions of the arterial blood pressure by controlled bleeding. Increase in lactate and decrease in pH of the cerebrospinal fluid occurred with lowering of the mean arter...

Cerebral effects of extended hyperventilation in unanesthetized goats.

Thirty-six adult, male unanesthetized goats were hyperventilated to a PaCO2 level of 16-18 mm Hg for 6 hours. Arterial and sagittal sinus blood and cerebrospinal fluid were analyzed for pH, blood gases, bicarbonate, lactate, and pyruvate before hyperventilation, during hyperventilation, and after the termination of hyperventilation. Total cerebral blood flow, regional brain blood flows, and cer...

Lactate and pyruvate concentrations, and acid-base balance of cerebrospinal fluid in experimentally induced intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhage in dogs.

The effect of blood injected into either subarachnoid space or subcortical brain tissue upon lactate and pyruvate concentrations as well as acid-base balance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was studied in the anesthetized dog. CSF lactate and lactate/pyruvate ratio (L/P ratio) increased progressively following the intracranial injection of blood and reached the maximum level at six hours after inj...

Presentation of a Non-invasive Method of Estimating Arterial Stiffness by Modeling Blood Flow and Arterial Wall Based on the Determination of Elastic Module of Arterial Wall

Introduction: Arterial stiffness is an important predictor of cardiovascular risk. Several indices have been  introduced to estimate the arterial stiffness based on the changes in the brachial blood pressure. Since the  substitution  of  the  blood  pressure  changes  in  the  central  arteries  such  as  carotid  with  the  blood  pressure  changes in the brachial results in error in the blood...
