Continuous cerebral blood flow monitoring: What should we do with these extra numbers?

Raksa Tupprasoot et al. BJA Open. .

Abstract

NeoDoppler is a noninvasive monitoring device that can be attached to a patient's head to provide real-time continuous cerebral Doppler evaluation. A feasibility study shows that it can be used in operating theatres during anaesthesia to potentially guide haemodynamic management. We discuss the impact of this new device and which further research would be necessary to find its role in clinical practice.

Keywords: anaesthesia; cerebral blood flow; doppler; haemodynamic management; monitoring; neonates.
