Abstract

Transcephalic electrical impedance (delta Z) was used to assess pulsatile cerebral blood volume changes while tilting nine premature (30-34 weeks) infants 20 degrees head up. High-frequency (1.50-4.00 Hz) delta Z variability decreased 27% while heart rate did not show any change. We would like to suggest that the variability of transcephalic electrical impedance analysed with spectral estimation seems to provide a means for quantifying alterations in cerebral circulation.
