After ligation of the bilateral common carotid arteries with exposure to hypoxia in young rabbits, cerebral blood oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, and total hemoglobin were measured by near-infrared spectroscopy. Ligation of common carotid arteries decreased oxyhemoglobin, increased deoxyhemoglobin, and slightly decreased total hemoglobin. Exposure to hypoxia with bilateral carotid ligation more remarkably decreased oxyhemoglobin and increased deoxyhemoglobin than that without carotid ligation. However, the total cerebral blood volume did not change very much. This marked reduction in the cerebral oxygenation may cause brain damage and may be an important monitoring marker for the prevention of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

D001810 Blood Volume Volume of circulating BLOOD. It is the sum of the PLASMA VOLUME and ERYTHROCYTE VOLUME. Blood Volumes,Volume, Blood,Volumes, Blood
D002534 Hypoxia, Brain A reduction in brain oxygen supply due to ANOXEMIA (a reduced amount of oxygen being carried in the blood by HEMOGLOBIN), or to a restriction of the blood supply to the brain, or both. Severe hypoxia is referred to as anoxia and is a relatively common cause of injury to the central nervous system. Prolonged brain anoxia may lead to BRAIN DEATH or a PERSISTENT VEGETATIVE STATE. Histologically, this condition is characterized by neuronal loss which is most prominent in the HIPPOCAMPUS; GLOBUS PALLIDUS; CEREBELLUM; and inferior olives.
