Abstract | The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the analysis of cardiovascular dynamics and the assessment of the baroreceptor-heart rate reflex can be used to derive information on the functionality of the cardiomotor brain-stem centers and whether this information may facilitate the diagnosis of brain death. We estimated during impending brain death in 11 comatose patients hospitalized in ICU (1) spontaneous variability of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and pulse interval (PI, the reciprocal of heart-rate) by spectral analysis; and (2) spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and baroreflex effectiveness index (BEI) by the sequence technique. Brain death was associated with significant spectral changes, including a generalized reduction in PI spectra and a decrease of the 0.1 Hz power in SBP and DBP spectra. BRS and BEI, close to normal values just before brain death, dropped to 0 after the brain death event. These changes - likely to reflect the cessation of activity of the cardiovascular brainstem centers - suggest that techniques for blood pressure and heart rate spectral analysis and for the dynamic estimation of spontaneous baroreflex control of the heart can be used for monitoring the brain-stem state in ICU and may complement the traditional assessment of brain-stem death. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
