Abstract
This study aimed to investigate, using magnetic resonance imaging, whether continuous hypertonic saline (HSS) infusion induces a superior vasodilating effect on the encephalic vessels compared to bolus infusion in dogs. The relative cross-sectional area of superior sagittal sinus increased to 1.96±0.09 and 1.69±0.31 times of the pre-value in the continuous and bolus groups, respectively, at t=30 min (p<0.001). However, the relative cross-sectional area of superior sagittal sinus was larger in the continuous group than that in the bolus group (p<0.001). The results suggest that continuous infusion of HSS might be superior to bolus infusion in inducing vasodilatation of the encephalic circulation.
