Clinical Pilot Study to Evaluate a New Multi-parameter Neuromonitoring Device in Brain-injured Patients

Clinical Pilot Study to Evaluate a New Multi-parameter Neuromonitoring Device That Allows the Measurement of Regional Cerebral Blood Flow (rCBF), Intracranial Pressure (ICP), Brain Temperature Monitoring and Ventricular Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Drainage in Brain-injured Patients

Clinical pilot study to evaluate a new multi-parameter neuromonitoring device that allows the measurement of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), intracranial pressure (ICP), brain temperature monitoring and ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage in brain-injured patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients which have received one of the following medications before being admitted to ICU: Haloperidol, Meperidine, Methadone, Morphine, Phenobarbital and Rifamycin.
• Patients with wounds or scars including the front orbital region.
• Cerebrospinal fluid infection or signs of meningo-encephalitis
• Anemia (hemoglobin < 10 g/dl) or Thalassemia
• Carbon monoxide poisoning
• Acquired pathological or congenital disorders of the cerebral system, being clinically significant, respectively interfering in the investigator's opinion with the conduct of study
• Documented history of bleeding, clotting or coagulation disorders
• Patients who are not suitable for a CT perfusion
• Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, will be inappropriate for inclusion into this clinical investigation or will not comply with requirements of the study
