Influences of hypothermia on the cortical blood supply by laser speckle imaging.
Induced hypothermia has been broadly applied in neurological intensive care unit (NICU). Meanwhile, accidental hypothermia is also a threatening condition in daily life. It is meaningful to investigate the influences of temperature change on the cerebral blood flow (CBF). ⋯ Besides, in the moderate group, a CBF rebound in vein was found in the post-rewarming phase. Our results suggested that the CBF changed differently between mild and moderate hypothermia, which may be worth for further study in clinic. And we demonstrated LSI as a promising method to achieve high spatiotemporal resolution CBF change with minimal invasion.
