Direct brain tissue oxygen monitoring for traumatic brain injury
Record ID 32010000854
English
Authors' objectives:
Direct brain tissue oxygen monitoring is used in conjunction with other monitoring modalities to better detect evolving brain injury and thereby avoid secondary brain insults before they cause irreversible damage. Direct brain tissue oxygen monitoring is accomplished by placing a small, oxygen-sensitive catheter directly into the brain tissue. The probe measures the partial pressure of oxygen in the interstitial brain tissue, which is reflective of the balance between the supply and demand for oxygen.
