The effect of the cerebral autoregulation on mean velocity (mv) was approximated by a second-order linear differential equation set with state variables x and x2, which were assumed to be equal to 0 during the control period. After the step in ABP, these equations were solved by the computer in steps of 00 milliseconds (sampling rate, f=0 Hz) by the algorithm where dp is the normalized change in mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) from its control value (cabp), including the effect of the critical closing pressure (CCP), which was assumed to be constant at 2 mm Hg in the present study. (This parameter can later be estimated individually.) MABP was obtained by filtering the pulsatile ABP at 0.5 Hz. cvmca is control velocity in the MCA. The control values were obtained as explained in "Methods." This mathematical model was characterized by three parameters: T, the time constant; D, the damping factor; and K, the autoregulatory dynamic gain.

Consequence of disturbed autoregulation: ischaemic insult during plateau wave of ICP
Consequence of arterial hypotension
Arterial hypotension with baseline autoregulation probably deteriorated

POINTS TO TAKE HOME: Several mechanisms of CBF regulation work simultaneously Pressure-autoregulation is potent brain self-protecting mechanism Autoregulation fails if CPP is too low or too high Autoregulation fails if arterial CO2 is too high Autoregulation may be tested in clinical conditions Consequences of disturbed autoregulation: Brain is exposed to ischemic insults when CPP decreases, this may reduce chance for good outcome after TBI With high CPP hyperaemia may aggravate brain oedema causing secondary rise of ICP
