Abstract

13 patients without cerebral or cerebrovascular diseases were investigated by transcranial Doppler sonography during Swan-Ganz catheterisation for cardiologic purposes. Massive increases of mean arterial pressure, heart rate and cardiac index were observed during exercise; flow velocities in the middle cerebral artery increased only to the same extent as the endexpiratory carbon dioxide rose. However, the pulsatility index increased significantly (p less than 0.01) although a decrease should have been expected due to carbon dioxide accumulation. These results are indicative of a functioning autoregulation independent of carbon dioxide; they are relevant for interpretation of TCD results in patients with disturbed autoregulation.
