Introduction Problem : impaired cerebral autoregulation Solution : detect ΔHbD concordant with ΔMABP (with ΔSaO 2 =0) 1 But … Problem : HbD (=HbO 2 -HbR) is not an absolute value Solution : prove that TOI may replace HbD for measurement of impaired cerebral autoregulation Acronyms : MABP : mean arterial blood pressure HbD : cerebral intravasc. oxygenation. SaO 2 : arterial oxygen saturation TOI : cerebral tissue oxygenation _____________________________________________________ [1] Tsuji et al., Pediatrics, Introduction 2.Datasets 3.Methods 1.DC meth. 2.CPRT 3.Similarity meas. 4.Exp. results 5.Conclusion

Methods > Similarity meas. Aim : to prove that a signal may be replaced by another more handy one. Particularly … Question : may HbD (relative) be replaced by TOI (absolute) ? Solution : derivation of similarity measures from the DC scores Acronyms : DC score : direct concordance score HbD : cerebral intravasc. oxygenation.
