Franklin, Karl A., Erik Sandström, Göran Johansson, and Eva M. Bålfors. Hemodynamics, cerebral circulation, and oxygen saturation in Cheyne-Stokes respiration. J. Appl. Physiol. 83(4): 1184–1191, 1997.—Because cardiovascular disorders and stroke may induce Cheyne-Stokes respiration, our purpose was to study the interaction among cerebral activity, cerebral circulation, blood pressure, and blood gases during Cheyne-Stokes respiration. Ten patients with heart failure or a previous stroke were investigated during Cheyne-Stokes respiration with recordings of daytime polysomnography, cerebral blood flow velocity, intra-arterial blood pressure, and intra-arterial oxygen saturation with and without oxygen administration. There were simultaneous changes in wakefulness, cerebral blood flow velocity, and respiration with accompanying changes in blood pressure and heart rate ∼10 s later. Cerebral blood flow velocity, blood pressure, and heart rate had a minimum occurrence in apnea and a maximum occurrence during hyperpnea. The apnea-induced oxygen desaturations were diminished during oxygen administration, but the hemodynamic alterations persisted. Oxygen desaturations were more severe and occurred earlier according to intra-arterial measurements than with finger oximetry. It is not possible to explain Cheyne-Stokes respiration by alterations in blood gases and circulatory time alone. Cheyne-Stokes respiration may be characterized as a state of phase-linked cyclic changes in cerebral, respiratory, and cardiovascular functions probably generated by variations in central nervous activity.

Objectives: To measure the effect of graduated compression stocking (GCS) length and body position on peak femoral venous blood flow velocity (PVV) and vessel diameter (VD). Methods: Twenty healthy adult volunteers had PVV and VD measured, using colour Doppler ultrasound, at baseline in three body positions. Knee- or thigh-length GCS were assigned randomly.Arandom sequence of the three positions was used to measure PVV and VD. The procedure was repeated, after a two-hour washout period, using the other length GCS. Results: There was no significant difference in the mean change of PVV ( P =0.74) or VD ( P =0.54) measurements from the baseline between thigh- and knee-length GCS. However, significant mean changes in PVV ( P =0.02) and VD ( P <0.001) measurements were observed for the three body positions, after adjusting for baseline values. Conclusions: In healthy volunteers, thigh- and knee-length GCS do not have an effect on PVV or VD, and body position affects PVV significantly, with or without GCS.
