Abstrakt: Background: Mechanical ventilation to alter and improve respiratory gases is a fundamental feature of critical care and intraoperative anesthesia management. The range of inspired O2 and expired CO2 during patient management can significantly deviate from values in the healthy awake state. It has long been appreciated that hyperoxia can have deleterious effects on organs, especially the lung and retina. Recent work shows intraoperative end-tidal (ET) CO2 management influences the incidence of perioperative neurocognitive disorder (POND). The interaction of O2 and CO2 on cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygenation with alterations common in the critical care and operating room environments has not been well studied.Methods: We examine the effects of controlled alterations in both ET O2 and CO2 on cerebral blood flow (CBF) in awake adults using blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) and pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) MRI. Twelve healthy adults had BOLD and CBF responses measured to alterations in ET CO2 and O2 in various combinations commonly observed during anesthesia.Results: Dynamic alterations in regional BOLD and CBF were seen in all subjects with expected and inverse brain voxel responses to both stimuli. These effects were incremental and rapid (within seconds). The most dramatic effects were seen with combined hyperoxia and hypocapnia. Inverse responses increased with age suggesting greater risk.Conclusions: Human CBF responds dramatically to alterations in ET gas tensions commonly seen during anesthesia and in critical care. Such alterations may contribute to delirium following surgery and under certain circumstances in the critical care environment.Trial Registration: ClincialTrials.gov NCT02126215 for some components of the study.
