Abstract
Clinical investigators have focused on the real-time evaluation of cerebral blood oxygenation (CBO) by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A previous study showed that an abrupt increase of oxy-hemoglobin (Hb) level and tissue oxygenation index (TOI) was associated with the timing of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). However, it is not clear how TOI alters before and after CPR including a period of cardiac arrest (CA). Therefore, this study aimed to assess CBO with asphyxia CA and its association with CPR to ROSC in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used. We attached NIRS (NIRO-200NX, Hamamatsu Photonics, Japan) from the nasion to the upper cervical spine in rats. A ten-minute asphyxia was given to induce CA. After CA, mechanical ventilation was restarted, and manual CPR was performed. We examined the mean arterial pressure (MAP), end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2), and Oxy/Deoxy-Hb and TOI. Out of 14 rats, 11 obtained sustained ROSC. After the induction of asphyxia, a rapid drop of TOI was observed, followed by a subsequent increase of Oxy-Hb, Deoxy-Hb, and TOI with CPR. Recent CPR guidelines suggest the use of ETCO2 during CPR since its abrupt increase is a reasonable indicator of ROSC. In this study, abrupt increases in MAP, ETCO2, and TOI were observed at the time of ROSC. TOI can be an alternative to ETCO2 for identifying ROSC after CA, and it also has the capability of monitoring CBO during and after CPR.
