An Update on the COGiTATE Phase II Study: Feasibility and Safety of Targeting an Optimal Cerebral Perfusion Pressure as a Patient-Tailored Therapy in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
Introduction: Monitoring of cerebral autoregulation (CA) in patients with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can provide an individual ‘optimal’ cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) target (CPPopt) at which CA is best ...
