Part of the book series: Current Clinical Neurology ((CCNEU))

Abstract

In this chapter, we describe the ongoing development of innovative neuromonitoring devices that could improve current patient management in neurocritical care. We emphasize those devices that monitor brain oxygen delivery, brain metabolism, cerebral blood flow, intracranial pressure, electrophysiology, and cerebral autoregulation and discuss how to integrate and time-stamp them in a manner that facilitates interpretation of data from multimodality neuromonitoring.
