We applied near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for the simultaneous measurement of forearm blood flow (FBF) and oxygen consumption (VO2) in the human by inducing a 50-mmHg venous occlusion. Eleven healthy subjects were studied both at rest and after hand exercise during vascular occlusion. FBF was also measured by strain-gauge plethysmography. FBF measured by NIRS was 1.9 +/- 0.8 ml.100 ml-1.min-1 at rest and 8.2 +/- 2.9 ml.100 ml-1.min-1 after hand exercise. These values showed a correlation (r = 0.94) with those obtained by the plethysmography. VO2 values were 4.6 +/- 1.3 microM O2 x 100 ml-1.min-1 at rest and 24.9 +/- 11.2 microM O2 x 100 ml-1.min-1 after hand exercise. The scatter of the FBF and VO2 values showed a good correlation between the two variables (r = 0.93). The results demonstrate that NIRS provides the particular advantage of obtaining the contemporary evaluation of blood flow and VO2, allowing correlation of these two variables by a single maneuver without discomfort for the subject.

The purpose of this study was to assess the reproducibility of resting blood flow, resting oxygen consumption, and mitochondrial capacity in skeletal muscle using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). We also determined the influence of 2 exercise modalities (ergometer and rubber exercise bands) on the NIRS measurements. Fifteen young, healthy participants (5 female, 10 male) were tested on 2 nonconsecutive occasions within an 8-day period. The NIRS device was placed on the medial gastrocnemius. Venous and arterial occlusions were performed to obtain blood flow and oxygen consumption. A series of repeated arterial occlusions was used to measure the recovery kinetics of muscle oxygen consumption after ∼7–10 s of voluntary plantar flexion exercise. Resting blood flow had mean coefficients of variation (CV) of 42% and 38% for bands and ergometer, respectively, and resting metabolism had mean CVs of 17% and 12% for bands and ergometer, respectively. The recovery time constant of oxygen consumption (day 1 bands and ergometer: 23.2 ± 3.7 s, 27.6 ± 6.5 s, respectively; day 2 bands and ergometer: 25.5 ± 5.4 s, 25.0 ± 4.9 s, respectively) had mean CVs of 10% and 11% for bands and ergometer, respectively. We conclude that measurements of oxygen consumption and mitochondrial capacity using NIRS can be obtained with good reproducibility.

A noninvasive method of measuring hemoglobin flow through an organ by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is described that allows blood flow to be calculated. The method is derived from the Fick principle and uses a small change in arterial oxyhemoglobin concentration (brought about by a change in the fractional inspired O2 concentration) as an intravascular tracer. Changes in deoxyhemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin concentrations are quantified by monitoring variations in the absorption of near-infrared light in the organ, thus providing a measure of tracer accumulation. The tracer input function is calculated from the change in arterial O2 saturation, measured by pulse oximetry. The method was used to determine hemoglobin flow in the forearms of six healthy young adults on 10 occasions. Forearm hemoglobin flow ranged from 22.5 to 82.6 mumol.l-1.min-1. Calculated forearm blood flow ranged from 1.01 to 4.01 ml.100 g-1.min-1. For comparison, forearm blood flow was measured by venous occlusion plethysmography, and the relation between flow calculated by NIRS (y) and plethysmography (x) was y = 0.93x + 0.30 (r2 = 0.95). The mean difference between the methods was 0.14 ml.100 g-1.min-1. The technique may be widely applicable.
