Effects of non-physiological blood pressure artefacts on cerebral autoregulation

Cerebral autoregulation (CA) encompasses all the cerebral blood flow regulation mechanisms that maintain cerebral blood flow at an approximately constant level despite changes in arterial blood pressure (ABP). The importance of CA is highlighted by a connection between CA impairment and clinical disorders such as stroke [1], subarachnoid haemorrhage [2] and head injury [3].
