Cerebral protection means the [[prevention]] of cerebral neuronal damage. Severe brain damage extinguishes the very "human" functions such as speech, consciousness, intellectual capacity, and emotional integrity. ---- Rhee et al. reviewed [[neonate]] pressure [[autoregulation]] and autoregulation monitoring techniques with a focus on [[brain protection]]. Current clinical therapies have failed to fully prevent permanent brain injuries in neonates. Adjuvant treatments that support and optimize autoregulation may improve neurologic outcomes ((Rhee CJ, da Costa CS, Austin T, Brady KM, Czosnyka M, Lee JK. Neonatal cerebrovascular autoregulation. Pediatr Res. 2018 Sep 8. doi: 10.1038/s41390-018-0141-6. [Epub ahead of print] Review. PubMed PMID: 30196311. )).
