Exploring the oxygen challenge test as a microcirculation evaluation model

Abstract: Biomedical and Biopharmaceutical Research J o r n a l d e I n v e s t i g a ç ã o B i o m é d i c a e B i o f a r m a c ê u t i c a Exploring the oxygen challenge test as a microcirculation evaluation model AbstractCutaneous microcirculation has emerged in recent years as a practical accessible subject for the study of peripheral circulation. Non-invasive techniques such as Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF), skin Evaporimetry and Transcutaneous Gasimetry in association with provocation tests, render cutaneous circ… Show more

“…Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) and transcutaneous (tc) gasimetry are among some of the most widely employed techniques to assess this microcirculatory status [4][5][6] . However, standardization of procedures and measuring conditions is lacking [7][8][9][10] , which justifies their limited use and their limited diagnostic utility. Since the measurement of resting microcirculation does not provide relevant information of the microcirculation, "provocation" tests are often used to increase the sensitivity of these quantification techniques.…”

“…By changing the resting perfusion conditions, local, regional or systemic compensatory responses can be elicited and easily quantified [5] . The tests most used to date are limb occlusion [11] , postural changes [12] , oxygen breathing [13] , and drug applications [14] . Attending to our previous experience in exploring methods to quantitatively describe the human in vivo peripheral vascular function, in the present paper, we assess and compare the vascular response of healthy subjects with different ages to two provocation maneuvers known to be used with this purpose as stress tests -passive leg raising and suprasystolic ankle occlusion.…”

“…As componentes mencionadas estão relacionados com várias atividades de regulação da perfusão -atividade cardíaca (de 0,6 Hz a 2 Hz), respiratória (de 0,15 Hz a 0,6 Hz), atividade miogénica na parede do vaso (de 0,052 Hz a 0,15 Hz), atividade simpática (de 0,021 Hz a 0,052 Hz) e atividade endotelial (mediada pelo óxido nítrico) (de 0,0095 Hz a 0.021 Hz) [10,11] . Uma abordagem comum para a avaliação do status da microcirculação cutânea é a realização de testes de provocação que induzam alterações locais ou sistémicas no fluxo sanguíneo cutâneo (ex: alterações posturais, oclusão arterial e inalação de oxigénio) [12,13] . O nosso objetivo foi explorar essas alterações nas componentes do sinal de FDL na microcirculação do membro inferior provocadas pela aplicação de dois protocolos de restrição de perfusão diferentes.…”

“…A common approach for the assessment of the cutaneous microcirculatory status is to perform provocation tests which induce local or systemic changes in the skin blood flow (e.g. postural changes, arterial occlusion and oxygen breathing) [12,13] . Our aim was to explore these evoked changes in the LDF signal components in the lower limb skin microcirculation by applying two different perfusion restriction protocols.…”
