Central conduction time in primate brain ischemia -- a study in baboons

J R Hargadine, N M Branston, L Symon

    Stroke
    |November 1, 1980

    Summary

    Central conduction time (CCT) changes correlate with reduced brain blood flow during ischemia. Prolonged CCT effectively monitors developing brain ischemia, showing a parametric relationship with blood flow alterations.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Cerebrovascular Physiology

    Background:

    • Assessing brain ischemia requires sensitive monitoring methods.
    • Central conduction time (CCT) is a measure of the brain's electrical conduction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between central conduction time (CCT) and regional cerebral blood flow during induced ischemia.
    • To evaluate CCT as a potential clinical monitor for developing brain ischemia.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied 9 primates, recording regional blood flow using hydrogen clearance.
    • Measured somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) following median nerve stimulation.
    • Determined CCT by latency differences in SEPs (N10-N7) before and after inducing ischemia via middle cerebral artery occlusion.

    Main Results:

    • A significant correlation was found between CCT changes and decreased blood flow in the acute ischemic phase.
    • Below 15 ml/100g/min, CCT progressively increased as blood flow decreased.
    • Hypotension, but not focal ischemia, increased P8 latency or caused its absence, while N7 and N8 remained unaltered.

    Conclusions:

    • Prolongation of CCT is related to developing cerebral ischemia.
    • CCT changes demonstrate a parametric relationship with blood flow alterations below critical thresholds.
    • CCT monitoring offers a simple, sensitive, and potentially applicable clinical method for detecting brain ischemia.
