We have examined the cerebrovascular response to carbon dioxide during normotension, sodium nitroprusside (SNP)-induced hypotension and high dose isoflurane-induced hypotension in 10 patients who received a standardized general anaesthetic. Carbon dioxide reactivity was determined by varying PaCO2 between 3.0 and 8.0 kPa and recording simultaneously blood flow velocity from the middle cerebral artery (vmca). The paired vmca-PaCO2 data were analysed using linear regression to determine carbon dioxide reactivity. During hypotension, both high-dose isoflurane and SNP reduced significantly mean absolute (from 17.4 (SEM 2.3) to 13.0 (1.7) and 8.8 (1.3) cm s-1 kPa-1, respectively; P < 0.05) and relative (from 32.5 (3.8) to 23.6 (2.0) and 15.5 (1.3)% kPa-1, respectively; P < 0.05) cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide. This reduction was greater during SNP-induced hypotension (P < 0.05). We conclude that cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide was attenuated during isoflurane and SNP-induced hypotension, and that it was better preserved during isoflurane-induced hypotension.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
