前臂-指尖皮肤温差(Tsk-diff)用于指示血管紧张度,当Tsk-diff大于或等于4 ℃时,血管收缩被定义为已经发生(Sessler等,1987,1988 a,B)。本研究旨在确定Tsk-diff或指垫热通量(HF)是否可用于预测何时发生血管收缩和血管舒张。7名受试者(1名女性)坐在[平均(SD)] 40.7(0.8)℃的水中,直到他们的核心温度(T1)升高10 ℃,以确保血管舒张。然后[以0.6(0.1)℃.min(-1)的速率]冷却水,直到T-c降至低于试验前值0.5 ℃,引起血管收缩。然后将受试者在水中复温[41.2(1.0)℃]。皮肤血流量(SkBF)使用激光多普勒血流仪(LDF)在左手第二指垫上测量[作为另一个实验的一部分浸入10.4(1.4)℃的水中],并在双手的第三指垫上使用红外体积描记法测量。在保持在空气中的右上肢上测量Tsk-diff和HF。当血管舒张时,受试者具有稳定的Tsk-diff和HE。在冷却期间,快速发作的血管收缩与HF和Tsk-diff的大梯度变化(拐点)同时发生。在两名受试者中,未达到最初的血管收缩定义(Tsk-diff大于或等于4 ℃),在其他5名受试者中,在血管收缩后31-51分钟达到。在复温期间,Tsk-diff和HF拐点较不准确地反映了血管舒张的开始,尽管有一个例外,它们在LDF变化的5分钟内。我们的结论是,Tsk-diff和HF拐点预测血管收缩准确,并优于Tsk-diff大于或等于4 ℃。
Forearm-fingertip skin temperature differentials (Tsk-diff) are used to indicate vasomotor tone, vasoconstriction defined as having occurred when Tsk-diff greater than or equal to4degreesC (Sessler et al. 1987, 1988a, b). This study was conducted to determine whether Tsk-diff or finger pad heat flux (HF) can be used to predict when vasoconstriction and vasodilatation occur. Seven subjects (one female) sat in water at [mean (SD)] 40.7 (0.8)degreesC until their core temperature (T,) increased by 1degreesC, ensuring vasodilatation. The water was then cooled [at a rate of 0.6 (0.1)degreesC.min(-1)] until T-c fell to 0.5degreesC below pretesting values, causing vasoconstriction. Subjects were then rewarmed in water [41.2 (1.0)degreesC]. Skin blood flow (SkBF) was measured using laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) on the left second finger pad [immersed in water at 10.4 (1.4)degreesC as part of another experiment], and infrared plethysmography on the third finger pad of both hands. Tsk-diff and HF were measured on the right upper limb, which remained in air. When vasodilated, the subjects had a stable Tsk-diff and HE During cooling, rapid-onset vasoconstriction occurred coincidental with large gradient changes in HF and Tsk-diff (inflection points). In two subjects the original vasoconstriction definition (Tsk-diff greater than or equal to4degreesC) was not attained, in the other five this was achieved 31-51 min after vasoconstriction. During rewarming, the Tsk-diff and HF inflection points less accurately reflected the onset of vasodilatation, although with one exception they were within 5 min of the LDF changes. We conclude that Tsk-diff and HF inflection points predict vasoconstriction accurately, and better than Tsk-diff greater than or equal to4degreesC.
