Effects of assuming constant optical scattering on haemoglobin concentration measurements using NIRS during a Valsalva Manoeuvre

چکیده
Resolving for changes in concentration of tissue chromophores in the human adult brain with near-infrared spectroscopy has generally been based on the assumption that optical scattering and pathlength remain constant. We have used a novel hybrid optical spectrometer that combines multi-distance frequency and broadband systems to investigate the changes in scattering and pathlength during a Valsalva manoeuvre in 8 adult volunteers. Results show a significant increase in the reduced scattering coefficient of 17% at 790nm and 850nm in 4 volunteers during the peak of the Valsalva. However, these scattering changes do not appear to significantly affect the differential pathlength factor and the tissue haemoglobin concentration measurements.

Effects of assuming constant optical scattering on measurements of muscle oxygenation by near-infrared spectroscopy during exercise.
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of assuming constant reduced scattering coefficient (mu'(s)) on the muscle oxygenation response to incremental exercise and its recovery kinetics. Fifteen subjects (age: 24 +/- 5 yr) underwent incremental cycling exercise. Frequency domain near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to estimate deoxyhemoglobin concentration {[deoxy(Hb+Mb)]} (where...
متن کاملHead-down manoeuvre in patients with a high symptom score for orthostatic intolerance reveals impaired right brain frontal lobe vasoreactivity.
OBJECTIVE Autonomic nerve dysregulation produces a sense of impaired well-being and interferes with work performance in affected individuals. In this study, we characterized the pathophysiology of this condition. METHODS Six patients with high symptom scores for orthostatic intolerance (OI) along with age- and sex-matched normal volunteers were directed to perform a head-down manoeuvre, and t...

Measurements of left ventricular systolic time intervals during the Valsalva manoeuvre have been made in IO normal subjects, 5 patients with ischaemic heart disease before and after treatment with a beta adrenergic blocking drug, and 5 patients with cardiomyopathy. The individual relation between the heart rate and the left ventricular ejection time was established in the normal subjects during...
متن کاملQuantification of adult cerebral blood volume using the NIRS tissue oxygenation index.
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is increasingly used as a non-invasive technique for monitoring cerebral oxygenation and haemodynamics . Simple continuous-wave (CW) NIRS systems utilising differential spectroscopy can measure quantitative changes in oxyand deoxyhaemoglobin (∆[O2Hb], ∆[HHb]) but only from an arbitrary baseline. Numerous studies of changes in cerebral oxygenation and haemodynam...
متن کاملEvaluation of intra-musclar oxygenation during exercise in humans.
Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been frequently used to assess intra-muscular oxygenation past few decades. In recent years, refinement of NIRS hardware and algorithms used to convert changes in optical absorption to changes in concentration improved the validity of oxygenated haemoglobin (HbO2), deoxyhaemoglobin (Hb), myoglobin (Mb) and the oxidised copper compound of cytochrome aa3 , (c...
