Measuring Cerebrovascular Reactivity: Sixteen Avoidable Pitfalls

Measuring Cerebrovascular Reactivity: Sixteen Avoidable Pitfalls

An increase in arterial PCO2 is the most common stressor used to increase cerebral blood flow for assessing cerebral vascular reactivity (CVR). That CO2 is readily obtained, inexpensive, easy to administer, and safe to inhale belies the difficulties in extracting scientifically and clinically releva...
