title: [Noninvasive estimation of human tissue respiration with wavelet-analysis of oxygen saturation and blood flow oscillations in microvessels].
abstract: Laser Doppler flowmetry, laser spectrophotometry of oxygen saturation and fluorescence determination of NAD-H/FAD ratio were carried out at 30 humans in the upper extremity skin zones with and without arteriole-venule anastomoses (AVA). For the first time it was shown that wavelet-analysis of oxygen saturation and microvascular blood flow oscillations was an effective approach to noninvasive estimation of skin oxygen extraction (OE) and oxygen consumption rate (OC). OE = (SaO2--SvO2)/SaO2, where SaO2 (%) and SvO2(%) are the oxygen saturation of arterial and venular blood, correspondingly. If the ratio between amplitudes of cardiac rhythm (Ac, p.u.) and respiratory rhythm (Ar, p.u.) Ac/Ar < or = 1, SvO2 = SO2. In the case of Ac/Ar >1, SvO2 = SO2/(Ac/Ar). OC = Mnutr x (SaO2-SvO2) in p.u. x %O2, where Mnutr--value of nutritive perfusion (p.u.). Mnutr = M/SI, where SI--shunting index of blood flow in microvessels. The values of perfusion, OE and OC were higher in the skin with AVA than in the skin without AVA. The values of perfusion and oxygen saturation were more variable in the skin with AVA. The greatest significance for tissue metabolism have the oxygen diffused from the smallest arterioles and capillaries. The contribution increased to tissue metabolism of total perfusion and of oxygen diffused from arterioles in the conditions of tissue ischemia.
