Abstract

Invasive and noninvasive monitoring of the central nervous system (CNS) has been a cornerstone of neurocritical care since the conception of neural critical care units. Monitoring the brain has been an obsession ever since, even when treatment options are limited or not significantly effective. The original motivation for the development of neurocritical care units was to place patients with critical neurological conditions in the same area, in order to allow providers to frequently perform neurological examinations, as it has been the pillar of neurocritical care since those early days and remains the gold standard assessment of the CNS function. The aim of this chapter is to review the technology and physiology behind the most used techniques and to highlight their potential utility and limitations.
