Neurovascular responses to sequential deep inspirations assessed via laser-Doppler perfusion changes in dorsal finger skin.

abstract：SUMMARY:Increasing evidence suggests that local blood flow should be monitored during microdialysis (MD) as the recovery of analytes is affected by local blood flow. At present ethanol clearance is the standard technique for this purpose, but it is not functional at very low perfusion velocities. Here, we introduce a t...
