Alpha-stat, beach chair, cerebral autoregulation… But who is at risk?
Murkin JM, Giraldo M.
"At a recent Institutional Research Ethics Board meeting, an experienced intensivist commented, ‘‘The more we learn about cerebral autoregulation (CA) the less we know…’’, upon learning of a current transcranial Doppler (TCD) study that was unable to show a cerebral autoregulatory plateau in healthy volunteers.1 Our experience is that most clinicians have much less understanding of CA than is generally considered" (Murkin, 513)
