In their recent article in this journal, Murray et al.[1] reported, in addition to the respiration-related oscillations which were the main focus of their interest, an oscillatory component in the unfiltered transmission plethysmographic signal in the frequency ranging from 0.02 to 0.07 Hz (of note, these frequency ranges are reported incorrectly as 0.2–0.7 Hz in the corresponding abstract, but not in the manuscript itself). The authors attribute this oscillatory component to synchronous changes in sympathetic activity affecting flow through arteriovenous anastomoses [2, 3], suggesting a potential for noninvasive quantification of sympathetic tone, as has previously been reported (for an in-depth review of applications of photoplethysmography beyond pulse oximetry, see [4]).In this context, it should be pointed out that laser Doppler flowmetry studies, using both Fourier and wavelet-based spectral analysis techniques, have quantified various oscillatory components of peripheral blood flow variability ranging from the relatively high-frequency respiratory to the very low frequency range. They have also provided experimental evidence regarding the underlying physiological mechanisms and evaluated dynamic responses to interventions such as regional and general anaesthesia [5–7]. The oscillatory components typically reported (Table 1), thus, provide an opportunity to monitor noninvasively the activity and function of various physiological regulatory mechanisms, including, but not limited to, the haemodynamic variability associated with respiration/ventilation and variations of sympathetic efferent activity. However, laser Doppler flowmetry is not yet available as a monitoring tool in standard clinical settings.
