Abstract：
PURPOSE:Squat-stand manoeuvres (SSMs) have been used to induce blood pressure (BP) changes for the reliable assessment of dynamic cerebral autoregulation. However, they are physically demanding and thus multiple manoeuvres can be challenging for older subjects. This study aimed to determine the minimum number of SSMs required to obtain satisfactory coherence, thus minimising the subjects' workload. METHOD:20 subjects performed SSMs at a frequency of 0.05 Hz. End-tidal CO2, cerebral blood flow velocity, heart rate, continuous BP and the depth of the squat were measured. 11 subjects returned for a repeat visit. The time points at which subjects had performed 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 SSMs were determined. Transfer function analysis was performed on files altered to the required length to obtain estimates of coherence and the autoregulation index (ARI). RESULTS:After three SSMs, coherence (0.05 Hz) was 0.93 ± 0.05, and peaked at 0.95 ± 0.02 after 12 manoeuvres. ARI decreased consecutively with more manoeuvres. ARI was comparable across the two visits (p = 0.92), but coherence was significantly enhanced during the second visit (p < 0.01). The intra-subject coefficients of variation (CoV) for ARI remained comparable as the number of manoeuvres varied. CONCLUSIONS:This analysis can aid those designing SSM protocols, especially where participants are unable to tolerate a standard 5-min protocol or when a shorter protocol is needed to accommodate additional tests. We emphasise that fewer manoeuvres should only be used in exceptional circumstances, and where possible a full set of manoeuvres should be performed. Furthermore, these results need replicating at 0.10 Hz to ensure their applicability to different protocols.
