Abstract
This review has been compiled to assess publications related to the clinical application of direct cerebral tissue oxygenation (pbtO2) monitoring published in international, peer-reviewed scientific journals, or major meeting reports published as journal supplements. Its goal was to extract relevant, i.e. positive and negative, information on indications, clinical application, safety issues and impact on clinical situations, as well as treatment strategies in neurosurgery, neurosurgical anaesthesiology, neurosurgical intensive care, neurology, and related specialties. For completeness' sake it also presents related basic science research and case reports. This review is an update of its previous edition published elsewhere in 2007. This review reflects publications from 2004 to 2012. Only relevant publications prior to 2004, which explicitly addressed or systematically examined the above issues, are included in this review and are listed in the reference section. Based on 349 citations it is the most comprehensive review available on direct cerebral oxygen monitoring to this date.
