Transcranial optical monitoring of cerebrovascular hemodynamics in acute stroke patients

Abstract: Abstract"Diffuse correlation spectroscopy" (DCS) is a technology for non-invasive transcranial measurement of cerebral blood flow (CBF) that can be hybridized with "near-infrared spectroscopy" (NIRS). Taken together these methods hold potential for monitoring hemodynamics in stroke patients. We explore the utility of DCS and NIRS to measure effects of head-of-bed (HOB) positioning at 30°, 15°, 0°, −5° and 0° angles in patients with acute ischemic stroke affecting frontal cortex and in controls. HOB positioning… Show more

“…TCD studies during obstructive apneas showed repetitive, transient increases of MCA blood flow velocity. 8 Moreover, cerebral vasoregulation assessed by TCD, 9 or by NIRS, 10 is impaired in acute stroke with consequent dependence of brain perfusion of the affected hemisphere from arterial blood pressure. Therefore, blood pressure increases at each obstructive apnea termination probably induce transient cerebral blood flow velocity increases in the affected hemisphere of patients with stroke.…”

“…In a recent study, we monitored cerebral haemodynamics at the bedside when changes were induced in HOB positioning [47,58]. In healthy populations, CBF responses to posture change were shown to be small owing to autoregulation [47].…”
