AbstractPatients with acute cerebral injuries for various reasons (traumatic, ischemic, hemorrhagic) are at risc for developing secondary brain damage and further neurological deterioration. The aim of neuromonitoring is to recognize subtile changes in intracranial physiology as early as possible to initiate adequate diagnostic and therapeutic measures to prevent secondary brain damage. Beside the classic method of clinical neuromonitoring in awake patients, implantation of intracranial probes to monitor intracranial pressure, brain tissue oxygenation and brain metabolism are used in comatose patients. Electrophysiological monitoring by electrocorticography or evoked potentials and measurement of cerebral blood flow provide additional information.The indications and clinical impact of these various monitoring techniques are discussed to ensure optimal medical care in patients with acute brain injury.Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
