Methods using the hydrogen clearance technique, based on the electrochemical generation hydrogen in brain tissue directly adjacent to the recording electrode, for the measurement of local cerebral blood flow were proposed more than twenty years ago [7]. However, despite the relative simplicity of these methods as compared with the inhaled hydrogen clearance technique, this method of studying the cerebral blood circulation has not achieved widespread acceptance. This is in many respects explained by the fact that the data obtained by hydrogen clearance techniques through its electrochemical generation hydrogen in brain tissue contain a substantial error associated with flae free diffusion of hydrogen from the site of its electrochemical generation into the surrounding tissues. The measurement of the diffusional component after the completion of the experiment in the nonperfused brain and to then subtract it from the results of the measurements in the living animal was proposed in order to exclude this error [2, 6]. Some of the conditions permitting the most effective use possible of these methods have also been elucidated experimentally: the optimal distances between the recording and the generating electrodes and the parameters of the generation current were found [1]. These investigations, which demonstrated the acceptability of the methods in question overall, were carried out in chronic experimental conditions after preliminary (7-10 days before the beginning of the investigations) implantation of the electrodes into the brain tissue. On the other hand, the specific features of the use of the hydrogen clearance technique using electrochemical hydrogen generation in brain tissue have not been subjected to strict experimental analysis as applied to the conditions of an acute experiment. Therefore, the present study has been directed toward the elucidation of the specific features of the interrelationship of the results of the measurement of cerebral blood flow under the conditions of an acute experiment on anesthetized animals by means of the two modifications of the hydrogen clearance technique, one involving the inhalation of hydrogen and the other through its brief (several seconds) electrochemical generation in brain tissue, using the very same recording electrodes 40 min after they have been introduced into the brain tissue.The investigations were carried out in 39 white Wistar rats of both sexes, weighing 250-300 g, under urethane anesthesia (1 g/kg, intraperitoneally). The animal was tracheotomized and a trephined opening was placed in the skull in the region of the somatosensory cortex by the methods described in [4]. The undamaged dura mater was coated with a layer of mineral oil. The left femoral artery was catheterized for monitoring the arterial pressure, which was 80-100 mm Hg during the experiments. The rectal temperature was maintained at 38~ by means of thermostatic bedding. The animal was then injected with 1 mg/kg d-tubocurarine intravenously and the animal was transferred to artificial ventilation at a rate of 90-100 per min and a volume of 1.25 cm 3. The CO 2 concentration in the expired air was maintained at the 4.0% level.
