Abstract

Neurocritical care management of acute brain injury (ABI) is focused on identification, prevention, and management of secondary brain injury (SBI). Physiologic monitoring of the brain and other organ systems has a role to predict patient recovery or deterioration, guide individualized therapeutic interventions, and measure response to treatment, with the goal of improving patient outcomes. In this review, we detail how specific physiologic markers of brain injury and neuromonitoring tools are integrated and used in ABI patients to develop therapeutic approaches to prevent SBI.
