Real Time Continuous Monitoring of Cerebral Blood Flow Autoregulation using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Patients Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass

摘要

Background and PurposeIndividualizing mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) targets to a patient’s cerebral blood flow (CBF) autoregulatory range might prevent brain ischemia for patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This study compares the accuracy of real-time CBF autoregulation monitoring using near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS) with that of transcranial Doppler (TCD).
