title: [A five-element lumped-parameter model for cerebral blood flow autoregulation].
abstract: Utilizing the third-order polynomial curve fitted to the experimental data, which represents the relationship between cerebral blood flow (CBF) and mean artery blood pressure (MABP), we constructed a lumped-parameter dynamic model with 5 elements. In this model; the resistance is not constants it is determined by the fitted curve. We simulated the process of CBF autoregulation numerically by solving the govern equation of this model and got quite accurate results. Furthermore, we studied the influence of hemodynamic parameters on the CBF autoregulation by this model and proved that the characteristic resistance is the most important factor.
