摘要
This study examined the hypothesis that the cerebrovascular response to asphyxia of the late gestation sheep fetus is characterized by an increase in cerebrovascular resistance and a fall in cerebral blood flow (CBF) rather than the fall in resistance and increase in CBF which occurs in acute hypoxemia. In eight unanesthetized late gestation fetal sheep (123- to 125-d gestation) we evaluated continuous changes in carotid blood how (CaBF) as an index of global CBF and total cerebral Hb concentrations as an index of global cerebral blood volume (CBV) using ultrasound flow probes and near infrared spectroscopy respectively. Asphyxia was induced by rapid and complete occlusion of the umbilical cord for 10 min. We also examined the fetal response to 1 h of acute 9% isocapnic hypoxia for comparison purposes. During hypoxia we observed a sustained increase in CaBF (p < 0.05) and CBV (p < 0.01) and a fall in carotid vascular resistance (p < 0.05). During asphyxia there was no significant rise in CBV, a fall in CaBF (p < 0.05), and a rise in carotid vascular resistance (p < 0.01). CaBF fell at a time when mean arterial pressure was elevated (p < 0.01). These data strongly suggest that fetal CBF does not increase and may even fall during severe asphyxia of rapid onset. Furthermore, our near infrared spectroscopy data show that the relative changes in total cerebral Hb concentrations may reflect the type and severity of the insult to which the fetus is exposed.
