After prolonged cardiac arrest and reperfusion, global cerebral blood flow (gCBF) is decreased to about 50% normal for many hours. Measurement of gCBF does not reveal regional variation of flow or permit testing of hypotheses involving multifocal no-flow or low-flow areas. We employed the noninvasive stable Xenon-enhanced Computerized Tomography (Xe/CT) local CBF (LCBF) method for use in dogs before and after ventricular fibrillation (VF) cardiac arrest of 10 min. This was followed by external cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and control of cardiovascular pulmonary variables to 7 h postarrest. In a sham (no arrest) experiment, the three CT levels studied showed normal regional heterogeneity of LCBF values, all between 10 and 75 ml/100 cm3 per min for white matter and 20 and 130 ml/100 cm3 per min for gray matter. In four preliminary CPR experiments, the expected global hyperemia at 15 min after arrest, was followed by hypoperfusion with gCBF reduced to about 50% control and increased heterogeneity of LCBF. Trickle flow areas (LCBF less than 10 ml/100 cm3 per min) not present prearrest, were interspersed among regions of low, normal, or even high flow. Regions of 125-500 mm3 with trickle flow or higher flows, in different areas at different times, involving deep and superficial structures migrated and persisted to 6 h, with gCBF remaining low. These preliminary results suggest: no initial no-reflow foci (less than 10 ml/100 cm3 per min) larger than 125 mm3 persisting through the initial global hyperemic phase; delayed multifocal hypoperfusion more severe than suggested by gCBF measurements; and trickle flow areas caused by dynamic factors. |
