Cerebral autoregulation in anoxic brain injury patients treated with targeted temperature management.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Little is known about the prevalence of altered CAR in anoxic brain injury and the association with patients' outcome. We aimed at investigating CAR in cardiac arrest survivors treated by targeted temperature management and its association to outcome.

Methods

Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data.

Inclusion criteria

adult cardiac arrest survivors treated by targeted temperature management (TTM).

Exclusion criteria

trauma; sepsis, intoxication; acute intra-cranial disease; history of supra-aortic vascular disease; severe hemodynamic instability; cardiac output mechanical support; arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO₂) > 60 mmHg; arrhythmias; lack of acoustic window. Middle cerebral artery flow velocitiy (FV) was a
