Abstract

Monitoring apnea-induced cerebral blood flow (CBF) oscillations is of importance for assessing apnea patient brain health. Blood pressure (BP) oscillations during apnea can induce oscillations in CBF. Preliminary results of testing an Auto Regressive Moving Average model relating nocturnal CBP oscillations to nocturnal BP variations in 8 obstructive sleep apnea subjects (3 F, 55±8 yrs., BMI 34.2±7.85 kg/m2) showed that largest mean and standard deviation of the CBF estimation errors was 4.49±7.57 cm/s and maximum root mean squared of the errors was 8.80 cm/s. Hence, reasonable accuracy in estimating CBF from BP during sleep apnea events was observed.
