Abstract

Cerebral blood flow and output of the left ventricle were simultaneously investigated in 17 infants using multichannel near infrared spectroscopy and pulse dye densitometry with indocyanine green. Cardiac output and cerebral blood flow were positively related. The control of cardiac output is important in the regulation of cerebral blood flow in infants.

  • CBF, cerebral blood flow
  • CO, cardiac output
  • Hb, haemoglobin
  • ICG, indocyanine green
  • MNIRS, multichannel NIRS
  • NIRS, near infrared spectroscopy
  • PDD, pulse dye densitometry
  • cardiac output
  • cerebral blood flow
  • indocyanine green
  • near infrared spectroscopy
  • pulse dye densitometry
