Cerebral autoregulation, which controls blood flow to the brain, can be effectively assessed using arterial blood pressure and middle cerebral arterial blood velocity data. Carbon dioxide levels significantly influence this autoregulation process.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Physiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Cerebral autoregulation is crucial for maintaining stable brain blood flow.
  • Carbon dioxide levels are known modulators of cerebrovascular function.
  • Non-invasive methods are needed to assess dynamic cerebral autoregulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the response of middle cerebral arterial blood velocity (MCAv) to arterial blood pressure (ABP) changes.
  • To evaluate the utility of a linear autoregressive with exogenous input (ARX) model for assessing dynamic cerebral autoregulation.
  • To determine the influence of carbon dioxide levels on cerebral autoregulation.

Main Methods:

  • Eight subjects underwent non-invasive measurements of ABP and MCAv.

  • Data were collected during spontaneous ABP changes, thigh cuff tests, and lower body negative pressure tests.
  • ARX models were fitted to ABP and MCAv data, analyzing step responses and phase shifts at 0.083 Hz (1/12 Hz) under varying CO2 conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • The ARX model accurately captured the phase lead of MCAv to ABP.
    • A strong linear relationship was found between pCO2 and the gradient of the step response (r=-0.58, p<0.0001).
    • A strong linear relationship was observed between pCO2 and phase shift (r=-0.76, p<0.0001).

    Conclusions:

    • Dynamic cerebral autoregulation can be reliably assessed using ARX model analysis of ABP and MCAv data.
    • Carbon dioxide levels significantly impact cerebral autoregulation, as demonstrated by the correlations with step response and phase shift.
    • The findings support the use of ARX modeling for non-invasive assessment of cerebrovascular control.
