Cerebral Oxymetry in Traumatic Brain Injury

Cerebral Oxymetry in Traumatic Brain Injury

Vasopressor for current treatment protocols for acute traumatic brain injury can lead to vasoconstriction and thus cerebral hypoperfusion that can be detected with cerebral oxymetry as a drop in SCO2.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with acute traumatic severe brain injury requiring neuro intensive care.
• The patient admitted must be at least 18 years of age and under 60 years.
• Intoxication is not an obstacle for inclusion as we believe this will not affect the recording in relation to our problem.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Traumatic injury in the frontal lobes corresponding to the area where ScO2 monitored.
• Patients in pharmacological studies.
• Patients with severe heart / lung / blood vessel diseases.
