Excerpt

Three mainstays of the medical treatment of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are to control raised intracranial pressure (ICP) and to maintain cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and cerebral oxygenation within normal ranges [1]. Consequently, monitoring of these parameters in neurocritical care is indicated. …
