Many critically ill patients present with, or subsequently develop, neurologic complications. A
substantial proportion of those complications result from impaired cerebral perfusion. In a …

The impetus for cerebral hemodynamic monitoring in neurotrauma first arose from the

Abstract CONTINUOUS OXYGEN DELIVERY and CO 2 clearance are paramount in the
maintenance of normal brain function and tissue integrity. Under normal conditions, aerobic …

Based on the assumption that brain ischemia and hypoxia are central causes of brain
damage, the maintenance of an adequate tissue oxygenation is a primary objective in the …

Background: Ischemic and hypoxic secondary brain insults are common and detrimental in
