The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of using the NeuraSignal transcranial doppler robot in a neuro ICU setting to measure cerebral blood flow correlated with arterial blood pressure to generate individualized cerebral autoregulatory curves
This study aims to explore the feasibility of using the NeuraSignal transcranial doppler robot to generate cerebral autoregulation curves in adult patients admitted to the neuro ICU with a newly diagnosed brain mass. Cerebral blood flow measurements as calculated by a transcranial doppler robot will be time-correlated with arterial blood pressure measurements to generate personalized cerebral autoregulation curves. The study will be conducted prospectively and observationally on 20 patients as a pilot study for feasibility management. Cerebral autoregulation has historically been difficult to…
