Overview
The therapy of traumatic brain injury consists of prevention and therapy of secondary injury. Proper and early diagnosis is necessary for adequate treatment. Standard monitoring methods in today’s neurointensive care include clinical observation, intracranial pressure monitoring and repeated brain CT scans. During the last 10 years, new methods have been implemented in clinical practice that can improve our understanding of the pathophysiology of brain injury and provide early diagnosis of secondary trauma. These methods include tissue oxymetry, microdialysis and brain tissue blood flow. Their common application constitutes so called multimodal monitoring. In the following review we introduce these methods in neurointensive care. Further, we summarize our experience with 50 patients with multimodal monitoring since 2006.
