Background Although vasopressor and sedative agents are commonly used within the intensive care unit to mediate systemic and cerebral physiology, the full impact such agents have on cerebrovascular reactivity remains unclear.

Impaired Cerebrovascular Reactivity in Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]
Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) is an inherent indicator of the dilatory capacity of cerebral arterioles for a vasomotor stimulus for maintaining a spontaneous and instant increase of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in response to neural activation. The integrity of this mechanism is essential to preserving healthy neurovascular coupling; however, to our ...

Background The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of commonly administered sedatives (Propofol, Alfentanil, Fentanyl, and Midazolam) and vasopressor (Dobutamine, Ephedrine, Noradrenaline and Vasopressin) agents on cerebrovascular reactivity in ...

Background and Purpose: BOLD fMRI is becoming the preferred modality to study cerebrovascular reactivity. Amongst the vasoactive stimuli to induce it, breath holding is considered equal to other methods but both cerebrovascular reserve measures and ...

Breath holding index in episodic primary headaches [PDF]
Background/Aim. Examination of cerebrovascular reactivity in patients with primary headaches is focused mainly on migraine, while the smaller number of studies deals with tensiontype and cluster headache, or comparison of cerebral haemodynamic in ...

Comparison of cerebrovascular reactivity tests: a pilot human study
In neurosurgery intensive care units, cerebrovascular reactivity tests for neuromonitoring are used to evaluate the status of cerebral blood flow autoregulation; lack of autoregulation indicates a poor patient outcome.

Background Impaired cerebral autoregulation has been linked with worse outcomes, with literature suggesting that current therapy guidelines fail to significantly impact cerebrovascular reactivity.

Cerebrovascular reactivity mapping without gas challenges [PDF]
Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), the ability of cerebral vessels to dilate or constrict, has been shown to provide valuable information in the diagnosis and treatment evaluation of patients with various cerebrovascular conditions. CVR mapping is typically performed using hypercapnic gas inhalation as a vasoactive challenge while collecting BOLD images,

Effect of Smoking on Cerebrovascular Reactivity [PDF]
Current smoking is a risk factor for stroke. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of smoking one cigarette on cerebral hemodynamics. Using transcranial Doppler ultrasound, we studied the changes of flow velocity after hypercapnia in the middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) of 24 healthy young smokers and 24 healthy controls matched for age and ...
