Brain electrical impedance at various frequencies: the effect of hypoxia

Non-invasive multi-frequency measurements of transcephalic impedance, both reactance and resistance, can efficiently detect cell swelling of brain tissue and can be used for early detection of threatening brain damage. We have performed experiments on piglets to monitor transcephalic impedance during hypoxia. The obtained results have confirmed the hypothesis that changes in the size of cells modify the tissue impedance. During tissue inflammation after induced hypoxia, cerebral tissue exhibits changes in both reactance and resistance. Those changes are remarkably high, up to 71% over the baseline, and easy to measure especially at certain frequencies. A better understanding of the electrical behaviour of cerebral tissue during cell swelling would lead us to develop effective non-invasive clinical tools and methods for early diagnosis of cerebral edema and brain damage prevention.
