This was a feasibility study investigating the efficacy of a new UT-NIR device (Ornim medical LTD, Kefar Saba Israel) for monitoring CFI and determination of CA and LLA in the operating room environment, and as such, faced several challenges. As TCD is the only other continuous and non-invasive technique for assessment of CA, we sought to employ it for cross-validation of UT-NIR detection of CA. However, TCD is limited by the need to find and maintain an acoustic window, is highly operator dependent, and is very susceptible to interference from electrocautery and other noise transients. This was demonstrated in the current study where insufficient TCD data was obtainable during electrocautery-free intervals to permit calculation of Mx during preand post-CPB intervals and in which a stable and continuous TCD signal could not be maintained in a further 8 of 20 patients during CPB. Of note, while a 40% failure rate for TCD monitoring may appear excessive it is not inconsistent with other such clinical studies. In a study of 239 patients it was reported that TCD was unsuccessful in 46% of female patients even at highest ultrasound intensity, while another study of 176 carotid endarterectomies reported an inability to monitor TCD hemodynamics in over 40% of patients.[13,14]
Since agreement was demonstrated between Mx and CFIx in determining presence or absence of CA during CPB, and given the high correlation (r2 = 0.828; p = 0.003) between LLA determined independently by each device as show in Figure 2, a further analysis of CA employing only CFIx data during pre- and post-CPB study periods was undertaken. The agreement in determination of CA between the two modalities of Mx and CFIx in patients monitored during CPB demonstrates that the UT-NIR device can detect CA and provides continuous monitoring of CBF intraoperatively independent of electrocautery usage. The resulting observation that 15% of patients demonstrated impairment of CA during CPB as represented in Figure 3b, is similar to the 20% incidence found in the study of Ono et al.[1] The further observation that 1 patient in whom intact CA was present prior to CPB, but who subsequently demonstrated impaired CA during and after CPB, and 5 patients in whom CA was impaired pre-CPB, of whom all demonstrated CA during CPB as shown in Figure 3a, and 4 of whom showed intact CA post-CPB, while very preliminary, is provocative and suggests that non-pulsatile perfusion or other unknown factors during CPB may be etiologic in altering cerebrovascular vasoreactivity in the perioperative period. Also, while the mean LLA detected during CPB was 48 mmHg and compatible with generally accepted perfusion parameters of MAP > 50 mmHg during CPB, it should be borne in mind that 2 of 10 patients had LLA 60 mmHg and at least 2 further patients had non-intact CA consistent with other reports,[1] and is thus further evidence that monitoring and individualization of cerebral perfusion parameters is a requisite for maintenance of optimal perioperative cerebral perfusion. It must be borne in mind however, that these are preliminary observations and will need further validation as this investigation was undertaken as a feasibility study rather than as a primary assessment of cerebral physiology. Also, the cutoff threshold of 0.35 for presence/absence of
intact CA, while consistent with similar such studies,[11] remains arbitrary and may predispose towards a determination of non-intact CA, and that even the dichotomous categorization of CA as intact or non-intact may be a simplification as there is increasing evidence of even more subtle alterations in CA that reflect degrees of vasoreactivity more optimally characterized in head injury patients as ‘better or worse’ cerebral autoregulation rather than representing an ‘all or none’ phenomenon.[8] ,# # # #9 #%# 9 @ $# # 9%## #% #%$# F/4 /3G'5.!, #%# "$ &E/ #=F/3 /:G5#@ #9 #%& "# # &O# "# # # # $9## <#$ ##=F/7 /2G 5 % ###&$#.# # "# #'5.!,& @ #"$#."# " $$# $ # $ # , #" #%$## " %$@=F/:G 5#% #"% $$#$ 6 # ## A#O#B@"# ##@ ##@& # =* M# &% ## # #"" $#$ ###@ A#B " $ # &= # !, # # %##%& #$#"" $# #"####& @ @ #"" $## &## # $?%=5 $#$$##"@"#$## #### $?% # $# & $@=
While primarily a measure of cerebral microcirculatory flow, UT-NIR has been shown to correlate with changes in global CBF as shown by Schytz et al comparing UT-NIR to 133Xe
single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in healthy volunteers in response to acetazolamide administration.[12] Transcranial Doppler assesses large vessel (eg. MCA) flow velocities, therefore, as in this study, it was anticipated that both UT-NIR and TCD modalities will trend similarly but not necessarily correlate. Increasingly, real time detection of cerebral CA is demonstrating a significant role in patient outcomes in various settings. In a series of 234 cardiac surgical patients Ono et al. reported impaired CA during CPB in 20%.[1] Of these patients multivariate analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between impaired CA during CPB and perioperative stroke with an occurrence in 6 of 47 (12.8%) patients with impaired CA compared with 5 of 187 (2.7%) in whom CA was intact.[3] Whether detection of CA will have similar prognostic importance in other high risk clinical settings is yet to be determined. In severe traumatic brain injury use of invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring and MAP to calculate PRx and a low-frequency autoregulation index as comprehensive indices of cerebrovascular autoregulatory capacity are being increasingly advocated for clinical management guidelines with a goal of optimizing cerebral perfusion without increasing and potentially lowering ICP.[20] The associations that have been made to date between impairment of CA and duration of hypotension below LLA and various adverse cerebral and renal outcomes makes optimal MAP and cerebral perfusion pressure management a dynamic and potentially titratable process in a variety of high risk patients.[3,4,15] The concept that cerebrovascular autoregulatory capacity is a dynamic physiologic phenomenon sensitive to perturbations in brain milieu and as reflected in the temporally/procedurally variable results shown by several patients within the current study is provocative. Whether the dynamic status of CA we observed in some patients is related to alterations in autonomic tonus,[21]
alterations in plasma volume,[22] or systemic inflammation and endotoxin release,[23] all of which can accompany CPB, or rather reflects other unknown mechanisms is currently unclear, but the demonstrated ability of CFIx to function as a non-invasive index of cerebral autoregulatory homeostasisis becoming increasingly clinically attractive.[24] The current feasibility study has demonstrated excellent concordance of CFIx with TCD-derived Mx for detection of CA and LLA and it is anticipated it will be followed by a larger study based on data and experience gained from the current investigation. *
