Enhanced Visualization of Optimal Cerebral Perfusion Pressure Over Time to Support Clinical Decision Making.
Cerebrovascular reactivity can provide a continuously updated individualized target for management of cerebral perfusion pressure, termed optimal cerebral perfusion pressure. The objective of this project was to find a way of improving the optimal cerebral perfusion pressure methodology by introducing a new visualization method. ⋯ The visualization method addresses some of the main drawbacks of the original methodology and might bring the potential for its clinical application closer.
