Abstract
Objective: Cerebral blood vessels maintaining relatively constant cerebral blood flow (CBF) over wide range of systemic arterial blood pressure (ABP) is referred to as cerebral autoregulation (CA). Impairments in CA expose the brain to pressure-passive flow states leading to hypoperfusion and hyperperfusion. Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) metrics refer to surrogate metrics of pressure-based CA that evaluate the relationship between slow vasogenic fluctuations in cerebral perfusion pressure/ABP and a surrogate for pulsatile CBF/cerebral blood volume.Approach: We performed a systematically conducted scoping review of all available human literature examining the association between continuous CVR between more than one brain region/channel using the same CVR index.Main Results: In all the included 22 articles, only handful of transcranial doppler (TCD) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) based metrics were calculated for only two brain regions/channels. These metrics found no difference between left and right sides in healthy volunteer, cardiac surgery, and intracranial hemorrhage patient studies. In contrast, significant differences were reported in endarterectomy, and subarachnoid hemorrhage studies, while varying results were found regarding regional disparity in stroke, traumatic brain injury, and multiple population studies.Significance: Further research is required to evaluate regional disparity using NIRS-based indices and to understand if NIRS-based indices provide better regional disparity information than TCD-based indices.

Abstract
The ability of cerebral vessels to maintain a fairly constant cerebral blood flow is referred to as cerebral autoregulation (CA). Using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) paired with arterial blood pressure (ABP) monitoring, continuous CA can be assessed non-invasively. Recent advances in NIRS technology can help improve the understanding of continuously assessed CA in humans with high spatial and temporal resolutions. We describe a study protocol for creating a new wearable and portable imaging system that derives CA maps of the entire brain with high sampling rates at each point. The first objective is to evaluate the CA mapping system's performance during various perturbations using a block-trial design in 50 healthy volunteers. The second objective is to explore the impact of age and sex on regional disparities in CA using static recording and perturbation testing in 200 healthy volunteers. Using entirely non-invasive NIRS and ABP systems, we hope to prove the feasibility of deriving CA maps of the entire brain with high spatial and temporal resolutions. The development of this imaging system could potentially revolutionize the way we monitor brain physiology in humans since it would allow for an entirely non-invasive continuous assessment of regional differences in CA and improve our understanding of the impact of the aging process on cerebral vessel function.

Abstract
Given the complexity of cerebral pathology in patients with acute brain injury, various neuromonitoring strategies have been developed to better appreciate physiologic relationships and potentially harmful derangements. There is ample evidence that bundling several neuromonitoring devices, termed "multimodal monitoring," is more beneficial compared to monitoring individual parameters as each may capture different and complementary aspects of cerebral physiology to provide a comprehensive picture that can help guide management. Furthermore, each modality has specific strengths and limitations that depend largely on spatiotemporal characteristics and complexity of the signal acquired. In this review we focus on the common clinical neuromonitoring techniques including intracranial pressure, brain tissue oxygenation, transcranial doppler and near-infrared spectroscopy with a focus on how each modality can also provide useful information about cerebral autoregulation capacity. Finally, we discuss the current evidence in using these modalities to support clinical decision making as well as potential insights into the future of advanced cerebral homeostatic assessments including neurovascular coupling.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains the most prevalent neurological condition worldwide. Observational and interventional studies provide evidence to recommend monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) in all severe TBI patients. Existing guidelines focus on treating elevated ICP and optimizing cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), according to fixed universal thresholds. However, both ICP and CPP, their target thresholds, and their interaction, need to be interpreted in a broader picture of cerebral autoregulation, the natural capacity to adjust cerebrovascular resistance to preserve cerebral blood flow in response to external stimuli. RECENT FINDINGS Cerebral autoregulation is often impaired in TBI patients, and monitoring cerebral autoregulation might be useful to develop personalized therapy rather than treatment of one size fits all thresholds and guidelines based on unidimensional static relationships. SUMMARY Today, there is no gold standard available to estimate cerebral autoregulation. Cerebral autoregulation can be triggered by performing a mean arterial pressure (MAP) challenge, in which MAP is increased by 10% for 20 min. The response of ICP (increase or decrease) will estimate the status of cerebral autoregulation and can steer therapy mainly concerning optimizing patient-specific CPP. The role of cerebral metabolic changes and its relationship to cerebral autoregulation is still unclear and awaits further investigation.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), including chronic disease such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis, and acute diseases like traumatic brain injury and ischemic stroke are characterized by progressive degeneration, brain tissue damage and loss of neurons, accompanied by behavioral and cognitive dysfunctions. So far, there are no complete cures for NDs; thus, early and timely diagnoses are essential and beneficial to patients' treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become one of the advanced medical imaging techniques widely used in the clinical examination of NDs due to its non-invasive diagnostic value. In this review, research published in English in current decade from PubMed electronic database on the use of MRI to detect specific biomarkers of NDs was collected, summarized, and discussed, which provides valuable suggestions for the early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of NDs in the clinic.

Optimal bispectral index level of sedation and cerebral oximetry in traumatic brain injury: a non-invasive individualized approach in critical care? Intensive Care Med Exp 2022; 10:33. [PMID: 35962913 PMCID: PMC9375800 DOI: 10.1186/s40635-022-00460-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2022] [Accepted: 08/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Impaired cerebral autoregulation has been linked with worse outcomes, with literature suggesting that current therapy guidelines fail to significantly impact cerebrovascular reactivity. The cerebral oximetry index (COx_a) is a surrogate measure of cerebrovascular reactivity which can in theory be obtained non-invasively using regional brain tissue oxygen saturation and arterial blood pressure. The goal of this study was to assess the relationship between objectively measured depth of sedation through BIS and autoregulatory capacity measured through COx_a. Methods In a prospectively maintained observational study, we collected continuous regional brain tissue oxygen saturation, intracranial pressure, arterial blood pressure and BIS in traumatic brain injury patients. COx_a was obtained using the Pearson’s correlation between regional brain tissue oxygen saturation and arterial blood pressure and ranges from − 1 to 1 with higher values indicating impairment of cerebrovascular reactivity. Using BIS values and COx_a, a curve-fitting method was applied to determine the minimum value for the COx_a. The associated BIS value with the minimum COx_a is called BISopt. This BISopt was both visually and algorithmically determined, which were compared and assessed over the whole dataset. Results Of the 42 patients, we observed that most had a parabolic relationship between BIS and COx_a. This suggests a potential “optimal” depth of sedation where COx_a is the most intact. Furthermore, when comparing the BISopt algorithm with visual inspection of BISopt, we obtained similar results. Finally, BISopt % yield (determined algorithmically) appeared to be independent from any individual sedative or vasopressor agent, and there was agreement between BISopt found with COx_a and the pressure reactivity index (another surrogate for cerebrovascular reactivity). Conclusions This study suggests that COx_a is capable of detecting disruption in cerebrovascular reactivity which occurs with over-/under-sedation, utilizing a non-invasive measure of determination and assessment. This technique may carry implications for tailoring sedation in patients, focusing on individualized neuroprotection.

Abstract
Impaired cerebral autoregulation (CA) may increase the risk of brain hypoperfusion in septic patients. Sepsis dysregulates the autonomic nervous system (ANS), potentially affecting CA. ANS function can be assessed through the pupillary light reflex (PLR). The aim of this prospective, observational study was to investigate the association between CA and PLR in adult septic patients. Transcranial Doppler was used to assess CA and calculate estimated cerebral perfusion pressure (eCPP) and intracranial pressure (eICP). An automated pupillometer (AP) was used to record Neurological Pupil Index (NPi), constriction (CV) and dilation (DV) velocities. The primary outcome was the relationship between AP-derived variables with CA; the secondary outcome was the association between AP-derived variables with eCPP and/or eICP. Among 40 included patients, 21 (53%) had impaired CA, 22 (55%) had low eCPP (<60 mmHg) and 15 (38%) had high eICP (>16 mmHg). DV was lower in patients with impaired CA compared to others; DV predicted impaired CA with area under the curve, AUROC= 0.78 [95% Confidence Interval, CI 0.63−0.94]; DV < 2.2 mm/s had sensitivity 85% and specificity 69% for impaired CA. Patients with low eCPP or high eICP had lower NPi values than others. NPi was correlated with eCPP (r = 0.77, p < 0.01) and eICP (r = −0.87, p < 0.01). Automated pupillometry may play a role to assess brain hemodynamics in septic patients.

Abstract
Impaired cerebral autoregulation (CA) in moderate/severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been identified as a strong associate with poor long-term outcomes, with recent data highlighting its dominance over cerebral physiologic dysfunction seen in the acute phase post injury. With advances in bedside continuous cerebral physiologic signal processing, continuously derived metrics of CA capacity have been described over the past two decades, leading to improvements in cerebral physiologic insult detection and development of novel personalized approaches to TBI care in the intensive care unit (ICU). This narrative review focuses on highlighting the concept of continuous CA monitoring and consequences of impairment in moderate/severe TBI. Further, we provide a comprehensive description and overview of the main personalized cerebral physiologic targets, based on CA monitoring, that are emerging as strong associates with patient outcomes. CA-based personalized targets, such as optimal cerebral perfusion pressure (CPPopt), lower/upper limit of regulation (LLR/ULR), and individualized intra-cranial pressure (iICP) are positioned to change the way we care for TBI patients in the ICU, moving away from the "one treatment fits all" paradigm of current guideline-based therapeutic approaches, towards a true personalized medicine approach tailored to the individual patient. Future perspectives regarding research needs in this field are also discussed.

Abstract
The process of cerebral vessels regulating constant cerebral blood flow over a wide range of systemic arterial pressures is termed cerebral autoregulation (CA). Static and dynamic autoregulation are two types of CA measurement techniques, with the main difference between these measures relating to the time scale used. Static autoregulation looks at the long-term change in blood pressures, while dynamic autoregulation looks at the immediate change. Techniques that provide regularly updating measures are referred to as continuous, whereas intermittent techniques take a single at point in time. However, a technique being continuous or intermittent is not implied by if the technique measures autoregulation statically or dynamically. This narrative review outlines technical aspects of non-invasive and minimally-invasive modalities along with providing details on the non-invasive and minimally-invasive measurement techniques used for CA assessment. These non-invasive techniques include neuroimaging methods, transcranial Doppler, and near-infrared spectroscopy while the minimally-invasive techniques include positron emission tomography along with magnetic resonance imaging and radiography methods. Further, the advantages and limitations are discussed along with how these methods are used to assess CA. At the end, the clinical considerations regarding these various techniques are highlighted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our study aims to explore the changes of cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) in migraineurs with right-to-left shunts (RLS), and further evaluate the association between CVR and the occurrence of the white matter hyperintensities (WMHs). METHODS RLS was diagnosed based on a contrast enhancement transcranial Doppler (c-TCD) examination. The breath holding index (BHI), which represents CVR, was measured from the middle cerebral artery (MCA) using a TCD with the breath-holding method. WMHs was defined as clearly hyperintense areas in 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). All migraineurs underwent a standardized questionnaire for family and personal history and detailed migraine features. RESULTS Three hundred and ninety-seven migraineurs and 100 controls were included in our study. The BHI was significantly lower in migraineurs than controls (0.527 ± 0.709 vs. 0.674 ± 0.489, P = 0.016). Moreover, migraineurs with RLS had lower BHI than those without RLS (0.504 ± 0.671 vs. 0.674 ± 0.721, p = 0.024). Migraineurs with WMHs had lower BHI than those without (0.47 ± 0.71 vs. 0.75 ± 0.49, p = 0.035). The reduced BHI was an independent influencing factor for WMHs in our study (OR = 0.338; 95% CI = 0.142-0.806, p = 0.014). CONCLUSION Our results indicated that BHI was reduced in migraineurs, and the reduced BHI was associated with RLS. Moreover, the reduced CVR in migraineurs with RLS might be related to the occurrence of WMHs.

Abstract
The impact of age and biological sex on outcome in moderate/severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been documented in large cohort studies, with advanced age and male sex linked to worse long-term outcomes. However, the association between age/biological sex and high-frequency continuous multi-modal monitoring (MMM) cerebral physiology is unclear, with only sparing reference made in guidelines and major literature in moderate/severe TBI. In this narrative review, we summarize some of the largest studies associating various high-frequency MMM parameters with age and biological sex in moderate/severe TBI. To start, we present this by highlighting the representative available literature on high-frequency data from Intracranial Pressure (ICP), Cerebral Perfusion Pressure (CPP), Extracellular Brain Tissue Oxygenation (PbtO2), Regional Cerebral Oxygen Saturations (rSO2), Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF), Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity (CBFV), Cerebrovascular Reactivity (CVR), Cerebral Compensatory Reserve, common Cerebral Microdialysis (CMD) Analytes and their correlation to age and sex in moderate/severe TBI cohorts. Then we present current knowledge gaps in the literature, discuss biological implications of age and sex on cerebrovascular monitoring in TBI and some future avenues for bedside research into the cerebrovascular physiome after TBI.

Abstract
The role of cerebral pressure autoregulation (CPA) in brain injury and disorders has gained increased interest. The CPA is often disturbed as a consequence of acute brain injury, which contributes to further brain damage and worse outcome. Specifically, in severe traumatic brain injury, CPA disturbances predict worse clinical outcome and targeting an autoregulatory-oriented optimal cerebral perfusion pressure threshold may improve brain energy metabolism and clinical outcome. In aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral vasospasm in combination with distal autoregulatory disturbances precipitate delayed cerebral ischemia. The role of optimal cerebral perfusion pressure targets is less clear in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, but high cerebral perfusion pressure targets are generally favorable in the vasospasm phase. In acute ischemia, autoregulatory disturbances may occur and autoregulatory-oriented blood pressure (optimal mean arterial pressure) management reduces the risk of hemorrhagic transformation, brain edema, and unfavorable outcome. In chronic occlusive disease such as moyamoya, the gradual reduction of the cerebral circulation leads to compensatory distal vasodilation and the residual CPA capacity predicts the risk for cerebral ischemia. In spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, the role of autoregulatory disturbances is less clear, but CPA disturbances correlate with worse clinical outcome. Also, in community-acquired bacterial meningitis, CPA dysfunction is frequent and correlates with worse clinical outcome, but autoregulatory management is yet to be evaluated. In this review, we discuss the role of CPA in different types of brain injury and disease, the strengths and limitations of the monitoring methods, the potentials of autoregulatory management, and future directions in the field.

Abstract
Despite changes in guideline-based management of moderate/severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) over the preceding decades, little impact on mortality and morbidity have been seen. This argues against the “one-treatment fits all” approach to such management strategies. With this, some preliminary advances in the area of personalized medicine in TBI care have displayed promising results. However, to continue transitioning toward individually-tailored care, we require integration of complex “-omics” data sets. The past few decades have seen dramatic increases in the volume of complex multi-modal data in moderate and severe TBI care. Such data includes serial high-fidelity multi-modal characterization of the cerebral physiome, serum/cerebrospinal fluid proteomics, admission genetic profiles, and serial advanced neuroimaging modalities. Integrating these complex and serially obtained data sets, with patient baseline demographics, treatment information and clinical outcomes over time, can be a daunting task for the treating clinician. Within this review, we highlight the current status of such multi-modal omics data sets in moderate/severe TBI, current limitations to the utilization of such data, and a potential path forward through employing integrative neuroinformatic approaches, which are applied in other neuropathologies. Such advances are positioned to facilitate the transition to precision prognostication and inform a top-down approach to the development of personalized therapeutics in moderate/severe TBI.

Comparison of Whole-Head Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy With Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Potential Application in Pediatric Neurology. Pediatr Neurol 2021; 122:68-75.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Changes in cerebral blood flow in response to neuronal activation can be measured by time-dependent fluctuations in hemoglobin species within the brain; this is the basis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). There is a clinical need for portable neural imaging systems, such as fNIRS, to accommodate patients who are unable to tolerate an MR environment. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to compare task-related full-head fNIRS and fMRI signals across cortical regions. METHODS Eighteen healthy adults completed a same-day fNIRS-fMRI study, in which they performed right- and left-hand finger tapping tasks and a semantic-decision tones-decision task. First- and second-level general linear models were applied to both datasets. RESULTS The finger tapping task showed that significant fNIRS channel activity over the contralateral primary motor cortex corresponded to surface fMRI activity. Similarly, significant fNIRS channel activity over the bilateral temporal lobe corresponded to the same primary auditory regions as surface fMRI during the semantic-decision tones-decision task. Additional channels were significant for this task that did not correspond to surface fMRI activity. CONCLUSION Although both imaging modalities showed left-lateralized activation for language processing, the current fNIRS analysis did not show concordant or expected localization at the level necessary for clinical use in individual pediatric epileptic patients. Future work is needed to show whether fNIRS and fMRI are comparable at the source level so that fNIRS can be used in a clinical setting on individual patients. If comparable, such an imaging approach could be applied to children with neurological disorders.

Abstract
Since its creation in the 1980s, transcranial Doppler (TCD) has provided a method of non-invasively monitoring cerebral physiology and has become an invaluable tool in neurocritical care. In this narrative review, we examine the role TCD has in the management of the moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) patient. We examine the principles of TCD and the ways in which it has been applied to gain insight into cerebral physiology following TBI, as well as explore the clinical evidence supporting these applications. Its usefulness as a tool to non-invasively determine intracranial pressure, detect post-traumatic vasospasm, predict patient outcome, and assess the state of cerebral autoregulation are all explored.

Transcranial Doppler Based Cerebrovascular Reactivity Indices in Adult Traumatic Brain Injury: A Scoping Review of Associations With Patient Oriented Outcomes. Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:690921.

Abstract
Background: Disruption in cerebrovascular reactivity following traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a known phenomenon that may hold prognostic value and clinical relevance. Ultimately, improved knowledge of this process and more robust means of continuous assessment may lead to advances in precision medicine following TBI. One such method is transcranial Doppler (TCD), which has been employed to evaluate cerebrovascular reactivity following injury utilizing a continuous time-series approach. Objective: The present study undertakes a scoping review of the literature on the association of continuous time-domain TCD based indices of cerebrovascular reactivity, with global functional outcomes, cerebral physiologic correlates, and imaging evidence of lesion change. Design: Multiple databases were searched from inception to November 2020 for articles relevant to the association of continuous time-domain TCD based indices of cerebrovascular reactivity with global functional outcomes, cerebral physiologic correlates, and imaging evidence of lesion change. Results: Thirty-six relevant articles were identified. There was significant evidence supporting an association with continuous time-domain TCD based indices and functional outcomes following TBI. Indices based on mean flow velocity, as measured by TCD, were most numerous while more recent studies point to systolic flow velocity-based indices encoding more prognostic utility. Physiologic parameters such as intracranial pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) reactivity as well as more established indices of cerebrovascular reactivity have all been associated with these TCD based indices. The literature has been concentrated in a few centres and is further limited by the lack of multivariate analysis. Conclusions: This systematic scoping review of the literature identifies that there is a substantial body of evidence that cerebrovascular reactivity as measured by time-domain TCD based indices have prognostic utility following TBI. Indices based on mean flow velocities have the largest body of literature for their support. However, recent studies indicate that indices based on systolic flow velocities may contain the most prognostic utility and more closely follow more established measures of cerebrovascular reactivity. To a lesser extent, the literature supports some associations between these indices and cerebral physiologic parameters. These indices provide a more complete picture of the patient’s physiome following TBI and may ultimately lead to personalized and precise clinical care. Further validation in multi-institution studies is required before these indices can be widely adopted clinically.

Abstract
The transcranial Doppler ultrasound-derived mean flow index (Mxa) is widely used for assessing dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) in different clinical populations. This study aimed at estimating the relative and absolute reliability of Mxa in healthy participants in the supine position and during head-up tilt (HUT). Fourteen healthy participants were examined on two separate occasions during which, mean middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity (MCAv), non-invasive blood pressure, and heart rate were continuously recorded in the supine position and during HUT. Mxa was calculated as the correlation coefficient between mean arterial blood pressure and MCAv using either 3-, 5-, or 10-second averages collected over a 300 second period. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC1.1) was calculated to assess relative reliability, while the standard error of measurement (SEM), and limits of agreement (LOA) were used to assess absolute reliability. Mxa-based 3-second averages yielded a similar relative and absolute reliability in both positions. When Mxa was calculated from 5-second averages, the most reliable values were obtained during HUT. The poorest reliability was achieved using 10-second averages, regardless of posture. The Mxa shows fair reliability with acceptable LOA in healthy volunteers when based on 3-second averages, both in the supine position and during HUT.

Abstract
Hypertonic saline (HTS) is a commonly administered agent for intracranial pressure (ICP) control in traumatic brain injury (TBI). The literature on its use is mainly in moderate/severe TBI where invasive ICP monitoring is present. The role of HTS in patients with moderate TBI (mTBI) outside of the intensive care unit (ICU) setting remains unclear. The goal of this scoping review was to provide an overview of the available literature on HTS administration in patients with mTBI without ICP monitoring, assessing its impact on outcome and transitions in care. We performed a scoping systematic review of the literature of MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, BIOSIS, and the Cochrane Databases from inception to July 31, 2020. We searched for those published articles documenting the administration of HTS in patients with mTBI with recorded functional outcome or transitions in hospital care. A two-step review process was conducted in accordance with methodology outlined in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. There were many studies with combined moderate/severe TBI populations. However, most failed to document subgroup analysis for patients with mTBI. Our search strategy identified only one study that documented the administration of HTS in mTBI in which subgroup analysis for mTBI and outcomes were provided. This retrospective cohort study assessed patients with mTBI who did/did not receive prophylactic HTS, finding that those not receiving HTS demonstrated a deterioration in Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score in the first 48 h. However, the HTS group did demonstrate a trend to longer hospital stay and pneumonia. Our scoping review identified a significant gap in knowledge surrounding the use of HTS for patients with mTBI without invasive ICP monitoring. The limited identified literature suggests prophylactic administration prevents clinical deterioration, although this is based on a single study with data available for mTBI sub-analysis. Further studies on HTS in non-monitored patients with mTBI are required.

Abstract
Impaired cerebrovascular reactivity in adult moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is known to be associated with worse global outcome at 6-12 months. As technology has improved over the past decades, monitoring of cerebrovascular reactivity has shifted from intermittent measures, to experimentally validated continuously updating indices at the bedside. Such advances have led to the exploration of individualised physiologic targets in adult TBI management, such as optimal cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) values, or CPP limits in which vascular reactivity is relatively intact. These targets have been shown to have a stronger association with outcome compared with existing consensus-based guideline thresholds in severe TBI care. This has sparked ongoing prospective trials of such personalised medicine approaches in adult TBI. In this narrative review paper, we focus on the concept of cerebral autoregulation, proposed mechanisms of control and methods of continuous monitoring used in TBI. We highlight multimodal cranial monitoring approaches for continuous cerebrovascular reactivity assessment, physiologic and neuroimaging correlates, and associations with outcome. Finally, we explore the recent 'state-of-the-art' advances in personalised physiologic targets based on continuous cerebrovascular reactivity monitoring, their benefits, and implications for future avenues of research in TBI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two transcranial Doppler (TCD) estimators of cerebral arterial blood volume (CaBV) coexist: continuous outflow of arterial blood outside the cranium through a low-pulsatile venous system (continuous flow forward, CFF) and pulsatile outflow through regulating arterioles (pulsatile flow forward, PFF). We calculated non-invasive equivalents of the pressure reactivity index (PRx) and the pulse amplitude index PAx with slow waves of mean CaBV and its pulse amplitude. METHODS About 273 individual TBI patients were retrospectively reviewed. PRx is the correlation coefficient between 30 samples of 10-second averages of ICP and mean ABP. PAx is the correlation coefficient between 30 samples of 10-second averages of the amplitude of ICP (AMP, derived from Fourier analysis of the raw full waveform ICP tracing) and mean ABP. nPRx is calculated with CaBV instead of ICP and nPAx with the pulse amplitude of CaBV instead of AMP (calculated using both the CFF and PFF models). All reactivity indices were additionally compared with Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) to verify potential outcome-predictive strength. RESULTS When correlated, slow waves of ICP demonstrated good coherence between slow waves in CaBV (>0.75); slow waves of AMP showed good coherence with slow waves of the pulse amplitude of CaBV (>0.67) in both the CFF and PFF models. nPRx was moderately correlated with PRx (R = 0.42 for CFF and R = 0.38 for PFF; p < 0.0001). nPAx correlated with PAx with slightly better strength (R = 0.56 for CFF and R = 0.41 for PFF; p < 0.0001). nPAx_CFF showed the strongest association with outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Non-invasive estimators (nPRx and nPAx) are associated with their invasive counterparts and can provide meaningful associations with outcome after TBI. The CFF model is slightly superior to the PFF model.

Abstract
Cerebral autoregulatory dysfunction after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is strongly linked to poor global outcome in patients at 6 months after injury. However, our understanding of the drivers of this dysfunction is limited. Genetic variation among individuals within a population gives rise to single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that have the potential to influence a given patient's cerebrovascular response to an injury. Associations have been reported between a variety of genetic polymorphisms and global outcome in patients with TBI, but few studies have explored the association between genetic variants and cerebrovascular function after injury. In this Review, we explore polymorphisms that might play an important part in cerebral autoregulatory capacity after TBI. We outline a variety of SNPs, their biological substrates and their potential role in mediating cerebrovascular reactivity. A number of candidate polymorphisms exist in genes that are involved in myogenic, endothelial, metabolic and neurogenic vascular responses to injury. Furthermore, polymorphisms in genes involved in inflammation, the central autonomic response and cortical spreading depression might drive cerebrovascular reactivity. Identification of candidate genes involved in cerebral autoregulation after TBI provides a platform and rationale for further prospective investigation of the link between genetic polymorphisms and autoregulatory function.

Abstract
Continuous cerebrovascular reactivity assessment in traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been limited by the need for invasive monitoring of either cerebral physiology or arterial blood pressure (ABP). This restricts the application of continuous measures to the acute phase of care, typically in the intensive care unit. It remains unknown if ongoing impairment of cerebrovascular reactivity occurs in the subacute and long-term phase, and if it drives ongoing morbidity in TBI. We describe an entirely non-invasive method for continuous assessment of cerebrovascular reactivity. We describe the technique for entirely non-invasive continuous assessment of cerebrovascular reactivity utilizing near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and robotic transcranial Doppler (rTCD) technology, with details provided for NIRS. Recent advances in continuous high-frequency non-invasive ABP measurement, combined with NIRS or rTCD, can be employed to derive continuous and entirely non-invasive cerebrovascular reactivity metrics. Such non-invasive measures can be obtained during any aspect of patient care post-TBI, and even during outpatient follow-up, avoiding classical intermittent techniques and costly neuroimaging based metrics obtained only at specialized centers. This combination of technology and signal analytic techniques creates avenues for future investigation of the long-term consequences of cerebrovascular reactivity, integrating high-frequency non-invasive cerebral physiology, neuroimaging, proteomics and clinical phenotype at various stages post-injury.

Abstract
Cerebral autoregulation, as measured using the pressure reactivity index (PRx), has been related to global patient outcome in adult patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). To date, this has been documented without accounting for standard baseline admission characteristics and intracranial pressure (ICP). We evaluated this association, adjusting for baseline admission characteristics and ICP, in a multi-center, prospective cohort. We derived PRx as the correlation between ICP and mean arterial pressure in prospectively collected multi-center data from the High-Resolution Intensive Care Unit (ICU) cohort of the Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in TBI (CENTER-TBI) study. Multi-variable logistic regression models were analyzed to assess the association between global outcome (measured as either mortality or dichotomized Glasgow Outcome Score-Extended [GOSE]) and a range of covariates (IMPACT [International Mission for Prognosis and Analysis of Clinical Trials] Core and computed tomography [CT] variables, ICP, and PRx). Performance of these models in outcome association was compared using area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) and Nagelkerke's pseudo-R2. One hundred ninety-three patients had a complete data set for analysis. The addition of percent time above threshold for PRx improved AUC and displayed statistically significant increases in Nagelkerke's pseudo-R2 over the IMPACT Core and IMPACT Core + CT models for mortality. The addition of PRx monitoring to IMPACT Core ± CT + ICP models accounted for additional variance in mortality, when compared to models with IMPACT Core ± CT + ICP alone. The addition of cerebrovascular reactivity monitoring, through PRx, provides a statistically significant increase in association with mortality at 6 months. Our data suggest that cerebrovascular reactivity monitoring may provide complementary information regarding outcomes in TBI.

Abstract
Individualized cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) targets may be derived via assessing the minimum of the parabolic relationship between an index of cerebrovascular reactivity and CPP. This minimum is termed the optimal CPP (CPPopt), and literature suggests that the further away CPP is from CPPopt, the worse is clinical outcome in adult traumatic brain injury (TBI). Typically, CPPopt estimation is based on intracranial pressure (ICP)-derived cerebrovascular reactivity indices, given ICP is commonly measured and provides continuous long duration data streams. The goal of this study is to describe for the first time the application of robotic transcranial Doppler (TCD) and the feasibility of determining CPPopt based on TCD autoregulation indices.

Abstract
The goal was to predict pressure reactivity index (PRx) using non-invasive transcranial Doppler (TCD) based indices of cerebrovascular reactivity, systolic flow index (Sx_a), and mean flow index (Mx_a). Continuous extended duration time series recordings of middle cerebral artery cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) were obtained using robotic TCD in parallel with direct intracranial pressure (ICP). PRx, Sx_a, and Mx_a were derived from high frequency archived signals. Using time-series techniques, autoregressive integrative moving average (ARIMA) structure of PRx was determined and embedded in the following linear mixed effects (LME) models of PRx: PRx ∼ Sx_a and PRx ∼ Sx_a + Mx_a. Using 80% of the recorded patient data, the LME models were created and trained. Model superiority was assessed via Akaike information criterion (AIC), Bayesian information criterion (BIC), and log-likelihood (LL). The superior two models were then used to predict PRx using the remaining 20% of the signal data. Predicted and observed PRx were compared via Pearson correlation, linear models, and Bland-Altman (BA) analysis. Ten patients had 3-4 h of continuous uninterrupted ICP and TCD data and were used for this pilot analysis. Optimal ARIMA structure for PRx was determined to be (2,0,2), and this was embedded in all LME models. The top two LME models of PRx were determined to be: PRx ∼ Sx_a and PRx ∼ Sx_a + Mx_a. Estimated and observed PRx values from both models were strongly correlated (r > 0.9; p < 0.0001 for both), with acceptable agreement on BA analysis. Predicted PRx using these two models was also moderately correlated with observed PRx, with acceptable agreement (r = 0.797, p = 0.006; r = 0.763, p = 0.011; respectively). With application of ARIMA and LME modeling, it is possible to predict PRx using non-invasive TCD measures. These are the first and as well as being preliminary attempts at doing so. Much further work is required.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to explore the relationship between intracranial pressure (ICP)-derived indices of cerebrovascular reactivity and the lower limit of autoregulation (LLA) during arterial hypotension. We retrospectively reviewed recorded physiological data from piglets that underwent controlled hypotension. Hypotension was induced by inflation of a balloon catheter in the inferior vena cava. ICP, cortical laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF), and arterial blood pressure (ABP) monitoring was conducted. ICP-derived indices were calculated: pressure reactivity index (PRx; correlation between ICP and mean arterial pressure [MAP]); pulse amplitude index (PAx; correlation between pulse amplitude of ICP [AMP] and MAP); and RAC (correlation between AMP and cerebral perfusion pressure [CPP]). LLA was estimated by piece-wise linear regression of CPP versus LDF. We produced error bar plots for PRx, PAx, and RAC against 5-mm Hg bins of CPP, displaying the relationship with the LLA. We compared CPP values at clinically relevant thresholds of PRx, PAx, and RAC to CPP measured at the LLA. Receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis was performed for each index across the LLA using 5-mm Hg bins for CPP. Mean LLA was 36.2 ± 10.5 mm Hg. Error bar plots demonstrated that PRx, PAx, and RAC increased, with CPP decreasing below the LLA. CPP at clinically relevant thresholds for PRx, PAx, and RAC displayed weak associations with the LLA, indicating that thresholds defined in TBI may not apply to a model of arterial hypotension. ROC analysis indicated that PRx, PAx, and RAC predicted the LLA, with AUCs of: 0.806 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.750-0.863; p < 0.0001), 0.726 (95% CI, 0.664-0.789; p < 0.0001), and 0.710 (95% CI, 0.646-0.775; p < 0.0001), respectively. Three ICP-derived continuous indices of cerebrovascular reactivity, PRx, PAx, and RAC, were validated against the LLA within this experimental model of arterial hypotension, with PRx being superior.
