Abstract
The present invention is directed generally to a method and apparatus for human brain neuroprotection during surgery. The invention includes use of a heart-lung machine to generate periodic rectangular pulsation of blood flow. The invention uses a non-invasive CA monitor to continuously record transient functions such as dynamic autoregulation functions of a human brain cerebrovascular autoregulation system and process the data to generate an alarm to indicate CA impairment and take steps to minimize the CA impairment event.
