Abstract:
The relationships between cerebral blood volume (CBV), cerebral blood flow (CBF), and the cerebral vascular mean transit time (t v ) during acute changes in the Pa CO 2 over a range of 15 to 76 torr were investigated in vivo in rhesus monkeys by serially determining the mean transit time of a vascular tracer, 15 O-labeled carboxyhemoglobin, and the mean transit time of a diffusible tracer, 15 O-labeled water. Over this range of Pa CO 2 , a significant linear relationship of CBV = 0.041 Pa CO 2 + 2.0 was found. For each one torr change in Pa CO 2 , there is a change in CBV of 0.041 ml/100 gm of perfused tissue. At a normocarbic value of Pa CO 2 (37 torr), an average value of 3.5 ml/100 gm was found. A nonlinear relationship of CBV and CBF was found. This relationship is expressed in the equation, CBV = 0.80 CBF 0.38 . A significant linear relationship was found between CBF and Pa CO 2 . This was described by the equation, CBF = 1.8 Pa CO 2 - 16.75. For each one torr change in the PaCO 2 , there is a 1.8 ml/100 gm per minute change in the CBF. At a normocarbic value of Pa CO 2 (37 torr), an average value of CBF of 50 ml/100 gm per minute was found. The relationship of CBV and t v was nonlinear and was expressed in the equation, t C15O = 41 CBF -0.62 .
