Journal ArticleDOI
Methods of monitoring brain oxygenation
TL;DR: This review focuses on jugular venous saturation, brain tissue oxygen tension, and near-infrared spectroscopy as practical methods that may have an important role in managing patients with brain injury, with a particular focus on the available evidence in children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain tissue oxygenation in children diagnosed with brain death.
Anthony A. Figaji,Samuel J. Kent +1 more
TL;DR: Preliminary data from this study suggest that PbtO2 decreases to 0 mmHg when brain death occurs in children, and further study is needed to determine the limitations, and the sensitivity and specificity of this finding in a larger group of children.
Journal Article
Targeted treatment of severe head injury
TL;DR: It has been increasingly appreciated in recent times that head injury is not a homogeneous concept and is poorly classified for the purposes of treatment, and traditional management tends to treat all individuals similarly.
