Excerpt

Microdialysis is a well-established tool routinely used in neurocritical units. Metabolic changes in patients with a subarachnoid hemorrhage or traumatic brain injury appear earlier than changes in intracranial pressure (ICP) [1]. Few reports have described metabolic changes, such as elevated interstitial glutamate levels, using microdialysis in humans or animal models of epilepsy [2]. However, little is known about brain metabolism and its time to recovery in humans with status epilepticus. …
