Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary aim of this study is to correlate calculated CPP with the cerebral blood flow velocity determined by TCD in different head positions. The secondary aim is to identify differences in CPP values based on measurement location which is either phlebostatic axis (PA) or tragus (Tg) at each of the head positions. Timepoint: Measurements will be done in the first 24 hours of postoperative period

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary aim is to identify differences in CPP values based on measurement location which is either phlebostatic axis (PA) or tragus (Tg) at each of the head positions.Timepoint: immediate postoperative period
