Introduction: In order to assess cerebrovascular autoregulation(CA) non-invasively we studied reaction of CBFV to orthostasis provoked by tilting during halothane (h) and propofol (p) anesthesia; as (h) compromises and (p) preserves cerebrovascular autoregulation.

Introduction: To study possible causes of cerebral injury during intubation we studied cerebral blood flow velocities (CBFV) in a prospective randomized trial in infants during halothane and propofol anesthesia; as halothane compromises and propofol preserves cerebrovascular autoregulation.

Introduction: Compromised cerebrovascular autoregulation (CA) is a consequence of acute cerebrovascular events and/or immaturity of CA. We studied CA capacity in response to tilting in healthy term neonates longitudinally using a transcranial Doppler system.
