Study on Reflex Response During Temporary Stimulation and Inhibition of Chemoreceptors of Carotid Bodies - a Pilot Study

Summary

The isolated response of the carotid bodies to local stimulation with adenosine has not been researched in humans. There are single reports indicating that intravenous administration of adenosine causes hyperventilation through activating the carotid bodies. Adenosine will be injected intraarterially during invasive treatment (percutaneous carotid artery stenting, CAS) or diagnostic (arteriography) procedures and their conduct will only slightly influence the standard scheme of the procedure.
