Abstract

The cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) of middle cerebral artery (MCA) was detected during the fatigue driving using Transcranial Doppler. The CBFV was also analyzed after the fatigue driving by different means of relaxation to alleviate brain fatigue. The results show that the CBFV in MCA is reduced by driving fatigue.

Highlights

  • Transcranial Doppler (TCD) was first described by Aaslid et al in 1982 [1]

  • The results show that cerebral blood flow velocities (CBFVs) of the right middle cerebral arteries (MCA) after 1h driving are less than the control group (Fig.3, P

  • There is the significant different (p

Summary

Introduction

Because of a high temporal resolution TCD has become a widely used method to determine cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) of the basal cerebral arteries during specific stimulation conditions [2,3,4,5]. Schnittger et al reported that the differential blood flow changes in the two middle cerebral arteries (MCA) as a function of attention to the visual stimulus [7]. One of the causes for motor vehicle crashes is the effect of fatigue driving [9,10]. How is the CBFV during the driving fatigue? Could the CBFV be changed using the head massage after driving fatigue? In this paper blood flow velocity changes in MCA induced by driving fatigue were researched How is the CBFV during the driving fatigue?
