External carotid artery flow maintains near infrared spectroscopy-determined frontal lobe oxygenation during ephedrine administration

Abstract: The effect of phenylephrine on ScO₂ is governed by a decrease in external carotid blood flow since it increases cerebral blood flow as determined by flow in the internal carotid artery. In contrast, ScO₂ is largely maintained with administration of ephedrine because blood flow to extracerebral tissue increases.

“…However, there is a concern regarding contamination from superficial tissues. [25][26][27] Both the authors' overall findings and the example in Fig 2 thus may be subject to contamination from superficial tissues. Regarding the overall results, it would be expected that, given the near-fixed "cardiac" output during CPB, a change in skin circulation with an increased NE dose would lead to decreased oxygen saturation in superficial tissues.…”

“…The use of vasopressors was balanced during reperfusion of the aorta. Phenylephrine reduces S c O 2 by vasoconstriction within extra-cerebral tissue [4,30] that may have caused false positive events of cerebral deoxygenation, but none of the three patient with cerebral deoxygenation received phenylephrine. As phenylephrine is administered frequently during reperfusion, we cannot exclude that S c O 2 , as an expression of CBF, may be an underestimate due to skin vasoconstriction.…”

“…Secondly, the ratio between influence from skin and cerebral oxygenation to the NIRS signal remains debated. Over a broad range of interventions known to affect SkBF and/or cerebral oxygenation a 35 % contribution has been suggested [25]. However, the ratio may likely vary between interventions, thus, taking the present findings into account it seems that when SkBF is altered it is reflected in the NIRS-derived value for cerebral oxygenation.…”

“…Moreover, NIRS apparatus uses this subtraction method with difference source-detector distance from 15 to 30 mm [25]. Nevertheless, the NIRS signal with a subtraction algorithm is unable to isolate cerebral oxygenation from extra cranial tissues.…”
