Cerebral perfusion is maintained at a consistent value irrespective of changes in systemic blood pressure or disease-induced changes in general physical condition. This regulatory mechanism is effective despite postural changes, working even during changes in posture, such as those from sitting to standing or from the head-down to the head-up position. However, no study has addressed changes in perfusion separately in the left and right cerebral hemispheres, and there has been no specific investigation of the effect of the lateral decubitus position on perfusion in each hemisphere. Surgery, particularly respiratory surgery, is often performed with the patient in the lateral decubitus position, and since intraoperative anesthesia may also have an effect, it is important to ascertain the effect of the lateral decubitus position on perfusion in the left and right cerebral hemispheres in the absence of anesthesia. The effects of the lateral decubitus position on heart rate, blood pressure, and hemodynamic in the left and right cerebral hemispheres assessed by regional saturation of oxygen measured by near-infrared spectroscopy were investigated in healthy adult volunteers. Although the lateral decubitus position causes systemic circulatory changes, it may not cause any difference in hemodynamic between the left and right cerebral hemispheres.
