Abstract：
:Adequate cerebral perfusion is necessary to preserve cerebral O(2) supply in order to maintain brain cell function. Our aim was to assess the influence of gestational age on the response of cerebral hemodynamics to hypoxemia and to determine thresholds of cerebral O(2) supply for preservation of brain cell function in preterm born lambs. Lambs were delivered by hysterotomy at 141 (n=5), 134 (n=5) or 127 (n=7) days of gestation. Decreases in arterial oxygen content (CaO(2)) were induced by stepwise reduction of the fraction of O(2) in inspired air (FiO(2)). Mean arterial blood pressure (MABP), carotid artery blood flow (Qcar), and electrocortical brain activity as a measure of brain cell function, were continuously recorded. Cerebral arterial blood gases were analyzed at the end of each hypoxemic level to calculate CaO(2) and cerebral O(2) supply. In contrast to 141-day lambs, MABP could not be maintained in 134-day and 127-day lambs at levels of severe hypoxemia. Increases in Qcar were observed at levels of moderate hypoxemia in all gestational age-groups. Albeit Qcar increased further at levels of severe hypoxemia in the 141-day lambs, Qcar declined under these conditions in the 134-day and 127-day lambs. The threshold of cerebral O(2) supply for the preservation of brain cell function was however similar in all gestational age-groups (1.7 ml/min). It is concluded that the ability to maintain cerebral function during hypoxemia depends upon the ability to preserve cerebral O(2) supply by means of cerebral hemodynamic compensatory mechanisms, which are not fully matured until 96% of gestation.
