The delivery of oxygen is critical to the survival of the brain. When caring for a critically ill neuro patient, the team must be aware of the impact that various interventions have on blood flow ...
Cardiac arrest (when the heart stops beating) interrupts circulation, causing brain cells to start dying in less than five minutes of the brain going without needed oxygen in the blood. The ...
The BOOST-2 trial indicated that optimising brain oxygen (PbtO2) could be a viable therapeutic target for severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). Previous studies have suggested the safety of airway ...
Introduction: We present a novel demonstration of brain-directed management of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) using real-time feedback from non-invasive neurometabolic optical ...
