Abstract
The care and management of a traumatic brain-injured patient continues to present many challenges to the bedside practitioner. As technology is integrated into intensive care management it has become clear that maintaining conventional intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure levels will not always prevent cerebral ischaemia. The Licox Brain Tissue Oxygen Monitoring System offers a direct, accurate, real-time, regional partial pressure measurement of oxygen levels in brain tissue. The information gained from this monitoring system will provide an early warning of oxygenation problems that can contribute to secondary injury. When Licox is used in combination with other neurointensive care monitoring parameters it can help inform the bedside practitioner in making decisions about the choice of interventions and in assessing their effectiveness.
