Research Abstract

Objective: A non-invasive method to evaluate cerebral blood flow is crucial in the study of brain ischemia disorders. In the present study, we developed an acceleration plethymogram using fractionated impedance method for evaluating focal cerebral blood flow. Methods: Acceleration plethymogram was used in this study. Tr-a time on an electro cardiogram was used for analyzing changes of head surface-impedance. Three conditions, rest, smoking and hyper ventilation, were analysed:
Results: Acceleration plethymogram using fractinated impedance method reflected each condition, rest, smoking and hyper ventilation clearly. Furthermore, acceleration plethymogram using fractinated impedance method could evaluate changes of blood flow at focal region non-invasively.
Conclusion: Acceleration plethymogram using fractinated impedance method is safe (less invasive), easy and can reliably make ischemic changes in cerebral blood flow.
