Background Monitoring the injured brain is an integral part of the management of severely
brain injured patients in intensive care. Brain-specific monitoring techniques enable focused …

The brain is sensitive to changes in substrate delivery. In neurologically critically ill patients
(eg, those with head injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or stroke), interruption of this supply …

The primary aim of managing patients with acute brain injury in the intensive care unit is to
minimise secondary injury by maintaining cerebral perfusion and oxygenation. The …

Background: Neurocritical care is a specialty that focuses on the critical care management of
patients with catastrophic neurologic diseases. Brain ischemia and hypoxia are often central …

Regulation of the cerebral circulation relies on the complex interplay between
cardiovascular, respiratory, and neural physiology. In health, these physiologic systems act …

Objective: To review the scientific basis for and utility of the traditional cerebral monitors
used currently in neurointensive care, together with research techniques that are soon likely …

Cerebral monitoring of patients with acute intracranial disorders generally focuses on
intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure monitoring. Over the past few years …

Brain injury is frequently observed after sepsis and may be primarily related to the direct
effects of the septic insult on the brain (eg, brain edema, ischemia, seizures) or to …

Objective: To examine the accuracy of brain multimodal monitoring—consisting of
intracranial pressure, brain tissue PO 2, and cerebral microdialysis—in detecting cerebral …

Background Recently, invasive intensive care unit monitoring of cerebral oxygenation has
become feasible. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of standard …
