Cerebrovascular reactivity assessment with O2-CO2 exchange ratio under brief breath hold challenge.
BACKGROUND:Hypercapnia during breath holding is believed to be the dominant driver behind the modulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF). However, increasing evidence show that mild hypoxia and mild hypercapnia in breath hold (BH) could work synergistically to enhance CBF response. We hypothesized that...
