METHOD FOR DETERMINING METABOLIC AND FUNCTIONAL BRAIN RESERVE DURING CARDIOSURGICAL OPERATION Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC G01N33/66 G01N33/72 A61B5/145 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves measuring arterial blood glucose concentration and venous blood glucose concentration in blood sample taken from jugular vein. Glucose consumption value determined from arteriovenous difference is expressed in percents of initial reference value of 1.447 mmole/l ([G_{l stand}]). Initial oxygen consumption (UO_2M(init))xΔG_l, where G_l =[ G_mes]/[G_{l stand}]. Difference between the initial glucose consumption value and the current one is interpreted in terms of metabolic and functional brain reserve value.

EFFECT: high accuracy in estimating brain oxygen consumption.
