To calculate regional fetal brain oxygen saturation (sO2) during hypoxia in sheep.
Eight pregnant ewes were examined at a 3T MR-scanner using blood oxygenation level-dependent magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-MRI) to measure signal intensity changes of the fetal brain during a control period and a period of induced hypoxia. Regions of interest were placed in the fetal cerebrum to assess ΔR2* from GRE signal intensity plateaus (S(control), S(hypoxia)) and the relation between ΔR2* and ΔpO2 was analyzed. A probe was placed surgically in the fetal brain to directly measure local pO2 as a reference standard. Baseline and hypoxic pO2 values were recorded and compared (ΔpO2).
Mean fetal brain pO2 decreased from 14.3 mmHg (95% confidence interval [CI]: 10-19) to 3.4 mmHg (95% CI: 2-5) during hypoxia (mean ΔpO2 = 10.9 mmHg and ΔR2* = -5s(-1)). A significant correlation between ΔR2* and ΔpO2 was noted (r = 0.93, P < 0.001), and conversion of pO2 into sO2 resulted in a linear regression coefficient of (-0.14 ± 0.01)s(-1)/% (r(2) = 0.91).
Measured fetal brain BOLD-MRI was compared and converted to pO2, followed by calculation of cerebral sO2.
计算绵羊缺氧期间胎儿脑区的氧饱和度(sO2)。
对8只怀孕母羊在3T磁共振扫描仪上进行检查,使用血氧水平依赖性功能磁共振成像(BOLD-MRI)测量胎儿脑在对照期和诱导缺氧期的信号强度变化。在胎儿大脑中放置感兴趣区域,以评估来自梯度回波信号强度平台(S(对照),S(缺氧))的ΔR2*,并分析ΔR2*与ΔpO2之间的关系。通过手术将一个探头放置在胎儿脑中,直接测量局部pO2作为参考标准。记录并比较基线和缺氧时的pO2值(ΔpO2)。
缺氧期间,胎儿脑平均pO2从14.3 mmHg(95%置信区间[CI]:10 - 19)降至3.4 mmHg(95% CI:2 - 5)(平均ΔpO2 = 10.9 mmHg,ΔR2* = -5s(-1))。观察到ΔR2*与ΔpO2之间存在显著相关性(r = 0.93,P < 0.001),将pO2转换为sO2得到线性回归系数为(-0.14 ± 0.01)s(-1)/%(r(2) = 0.91)。
对测量的胎儿脑BOLD-MRI进行比较并转换为pO2,随后计算脑sO2。
