文摘Introduction The brain has been considered an index organ for global tissue perfusion because of the physiological processes aimed at flow preservation to vital organs of the body.When cerebral perfusion is compromised, other organs are likely inadequately perfused as well. It would therefore be prudent to monitor cerebral perfu- sion based on the proposition that interventions aimed at its preservation will likely result in adequate tissue perfusion of the whole body and reduced complications related to ischemia of various organs.
