To the Editor:We read with interest the article by Jaeger et al1 published in the March issue of Stroke . In that article, tissue tension of oxygen (PtiO2) has been used as a surrogate marker of cerebral blood flow. After subarachnoid hemorrhage, in some patients a correlation (measured as the moving linear correlation coefficient, ORx) was found between changes in cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and corresponding changes in PtiO2, whereas in others this correlation was not detected. The absence of correlation was interpreted as a sign of preserved autoregulation, because a constant “flow” was …
