Multimodal Neuromonitoring of Patients with Severe Brain Damage

  • Chapter
Advances in Brain Resuscitation

Abstract

Neurophysiological brain monitoring (neuromonitoring), is being increasingly applied in the intensive care setting [1]. Neuromonitoring includes conventional EEG, compressed spectral arrays (CSA), measurement of brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) and short-latency somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP), also measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) [2], and cerebral blood flow, as well as transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD).
