In recent years, the feasibility of near-infrared spectroscopy to continuously assess cerebral autoregulation has gained increasing interest. By plotting cerebral oxygen saturation over blood pressure, clinicians can generate an index of autoregulation: the cerebral oximetry index (COx). Successful integration of this monitoring ability in daily critical care may allow clinicians to tailor blood pressure management to the individual patient's need and might prove to be a major step forward in terms of patient outcome.
近年来，近红外光谱法连续评估脑自动调节功能的可行性越来越受到关注。通过绘制脑氧饱和度与血压的关系图，临床医生可以生成一个自动调节指数：脑氧饱和度指数（COx）。将这种监测能力成功整合到日常重症监护中，可能会使临床医生根据个体患者的需求调整血压管理，这在患者预后方面可能被证明是向前迈出的重要一步。
