    Plots of cerebral perfusion pressure and cerebrovascular resistance against mean arterial pressure. The open circles refer to the <150-mm Hg treatment group, while the filled squares represent the <180-mm Hg treatment group. There was no relationship between mean arterial pressure and CPP (β = −0.08 [−0.10, 0.05]) or CVR (β = −0.11 [−0.003, 0.001]).
