Abstract

Spinal cord autoregulation is an essential variable in neurology and neurosurgery. A better understanding of this process could improve outcomes in various conditions, including traumatic injury, ischemic injury, and other spinal diseases. As spinal cord blood flow measurement technologies improve, there is a growing opportunity to apply autoregulation to direct patient care.
