Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral hypoxia is a frequent cause of secondary brain damage in patients with acute brain injury. Although hypercapnia can increase intracranial pressure, it may have beneficial effects on tissue oxygenation. We aimed to assess the effects of hypercapnia on brain tissue oxygenation (PbtO2). METHODS This single-center retrospective study (November 2014 to June 2022) included all patients admitted to the intensive care unit after acute brain injury who required multimodal monitoring, including PbtO2 monitoring, and who underwent induced moderate hypoventilation and hypercapnia according to the decision of the treating physician. Patients with imminent brain death were excluded. Responders to hypercapnia were defined as those with an increase of at least 20% in PbtO2 values when compared to their baseline levels. RESULTS On a total of 163 eligible patients, we identified 23 (14%) patients who underwent moderate hypoventilation (arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide [PaCO2] from 44 [42-45] to 50 [49-53] mm Hg; p < 0.001) during the study period at a median of 6 (4-10) days following intensive care unit admission; six patients had traumatic brain injury, and 17 had subarachnoid hemorrhage. A significant overall increase in median PbtO2 values from baseline (21 [19-26] to 24 [22-26] mm Hg; p = 0.02) was observed. Eight (35%) patients were considered as responders, with a median increase of 7 (from 4 to 11) mm Hg of PbtO2, whereas nonresponders showed no changes (from - 1 to 2 mm Hg of PbtO2). Because of the small sample size, no variable independently associated with PbtO2 response was identified. No correlation between changes in PaCO2 and in PbtO2 was observed. CONCLUSIONS In this study, a heterogeneous response of PbtO2 to induced hypercapnia was observed but without any deleterious elevations of intracranial pressure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac arrest (CA) is a sudden event that is often characterized by hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI), leading to significant mortality and long-term disability. Brain tissue oxygenation (PbtO2) is an invasive tool for monitoring brain oxygen tension, but it is not routinely used in patients with CA because of the invasiveness and the absence of high-quality data on its effect on outcome. We conducted a systematic review of experimental and clinical evidence to understand the role of PbtO2 in monitoring brain oxygenation in HIBI after CA and the effect of targeted PbtO2 therapy on outcomes. METHODS The search was conducted using four search engines (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Cochrane), using the Boolean operator to combine mesh terms such as PbtO2, CA, and HIBI. RESULTS Among 1,077 records, 22 studies were included (16 experimental studies and six clinical studies). In experimental studies, PbtO2 was mainly adopted to assess the impact of gas exchanges, drugs, or systemic maneuvers on brain oxygenation. In human studies, PbtO2 was rarely used to monitor the brain oxygen tension in patients with CA and HIBI. PbtO2 values had no clear association with patients' outcomes, but in the experimental studies, brain tissue hypoxia was associated with increased inflammation and neuronal damage. CONCLUSIONS Further studies are needed to validate the effect and the threshold of PbtO2 associated with outcome in patients with CA, as well as to understand the physiological mechanisms influencing PbtO2 induced by gas exchanges, drug administration, and changes in body positioning after CA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary aim was to explore the concept of isolated and combined threshold-insults for brain tissue oxygenation (pbtO2) in relation to outcome in traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHODS A total of 239 TBI patients with data on clinical outcome (GOS) and intracranial pressure (ICP) and pbtO2 monitoring for at least 12 h, who had been treated at the neurocritical care unit, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, UK, between 2002 and 2022 were included. Outcome was dichotomised into favourable/unfavourable (GOS 4-5/1-3) and survival/mortality (GOS 2-5/1). PbtO2 was studied over the entire monitoring period. Thresholds were analysed in relation to outcome based on median and mean values, percentage of time and dose per hour below critical values and visualised as the combined insult intensity and duration. RESULTS Median pbtO2 was slightly, but not significantly, associated with outcome. A pbtO2 threshold at 25 and 20 mmHg, respectively, yielded the highest x2 when dichotomised for favourable/unfavourable outcome and mortality/survival in chi-square analyses. A higher dose and higher percentage of time spent with pbtO2 below 25 mmHg as well as lower thresholds were associated with unfavourable outcome, but not mortality. In a combined insult intensity and duration analysis, there was a transition from favourable towards unfavourable outcome when pbtO2 went below 25-30 mmHg for 30 min and similar transitions occurred for shorter durations when the intensity was higher. Although these insults were rare, pbtO2 under 15 mmHg was more strongly associated with unfavourable outcome if, concurrently, ICP was above 20 mmHg, cerebral perfusion pressure below 60 mmHg, or pressure reactivity index above 0.30 than if these variables were not deranged. In a multiple logistic regression, a higher percentage of monitoring time with pbtO2 < 15 mmHg was associated with a higher rate of unfavourable outcome. CONCLUSIONS Low pbtO2, under 25 mmHg and particularly below 15 mmHg, for longer durations and in combination with disturbances in global cerebral physiological variables were associated with poor outcome and may indicate detrimental ischaemic hypoxia. Prospective trials are needed to determine if pbtO2-directed therapy is beneficial, at what individualised pbtO2 threshold therapies are warranted, and how this may depend on the presence/absence of concurrent cerebral physiological disturbances.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prone positioning (PP) is an established treatment modality for respiratory failure. After aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), PP is rarely performed considering the risk of intracranial hypertension. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of PP on intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and cerebral oxygenation following aSAH. PATIENTS AND METHODS Demographic and clinical data of aSAH patients admitted over a 6-year period and treated with PP due to respiratory insufficiency were retrospectively analyzed. ICP, CPP, brain tissue oxygenation (pBrO2), respiratory parameters and ventilator settings were analyzed before and during PP. RESULTS Thirty patients receiving invasive multimodal neuromonitoring were included. Overall, 97 PP sessions were performed. Mean arterial oxygenation and pBrO2 increased significantly during PP. We found a significant increase in median ICP compared to the baseline level in supine position. No significant changes in CPP were observed. Five PP sessions had to be terminated early due to medically refractory ICP-crisis. The affected patients were younger (p = 0.02) with significantly higher baseline ICP values (p = 0.009). Baseline ICP correlates significantly (p < 0.001) with ICP 1 h (R: 0.57) and 4 h (R: 0.55) after onset of PP. CONCLUSION PP in aSAH patients with respiratory insufficiency is an effective therapeutic option improving arterial and global cerebral oxygenation without compromising CPP. The significant increase in ICP was moderate in most sessions. However, as some patients experience intolerable ICP crises during PP, continuous ICP-Monitoring is considered mandatory. Patients with elevated baseline ICP and reduced intracranial compliance should not be considered for PP.

Abstract
The cerebral oxygen cascade includes three key stages: (a) convective oxygen delivery representing the bulk flow of oxygen to the cerebral vascular bed; (b) diffusion of oxygen from the blood into brain tissue; and (c) cellular utilisation of oxygen for aerobic metabolism. All three stages may become dysfunctional after resuscitation from cardiac arrest and contribute to hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury (HIBI). Improving convective cerebral oxygen delivery by optimising cerebral blood flow has been widely investigated as a strategy to mitigate HIBI. However, clinical trials aimed at optimising convective oxygen delivery have yielded neutral results. Advances in the understanding of HIBI pathophysiology suggest that impairments in the stages of the oxygen cascade pertaining to oxygen diffusion and cellular utilisation of oxygen should also be considered in identifying therapeutic strategies for the clinical management of HIBI patients. Culprit mechanisms for these impairments may include a widening of the diffusion barrier due to peri-vascular oedema and mitochondrial dysfunction. An integrated approach encompassing both intra-parenchymal and non-invasive neuromonitoring techniques may aid in detecting pathophysiologic changes in the oxygen cascade and enable patient-specific management aimed at reducing the severity of HIBI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary aim was to explore the association of global cerebral physiological variables including intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebrovascular reactivity (PRx), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), and deviation from the PRx-based optimal CPP value (∆CPPopt; actual CPP-CPPopt) in relation to brain tissue oxygenation (pbtO2) in traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHODS A total of 425 TBI patients with ICP- and pbtO2 monitoring for at least 12 h, who had been treated at the neurocritical care unit, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, UK, between 2002 and 2022 were included. Generalized additive models (GAMs) and linear mixed effect models were used to explore the association of ICP, PRx, CPP, and CPPopt in relation to pbtO2. PbtO2 < 20 mmHg, ICP > 20 mmHg, PRx > 0.30, CPP < 60 mmHg, and ∆CPPopt < - 5 mmHg were considered as cerebral insults. RESULTS PbtO2 < 20 mmHg occurred in median during 17% of the monitoring time and in less than 5% in combination with ICP > 20 mmHg, PRx > 0.30, CPP < 60 mmHg, or ∆CPPopt < - 5 mmHg. In GAM analyses, pbtO2 remained around 25 mmHg over a large range of ICP ([0;50] mmHg) and PRx [- 1;1], but deteriorated below 20 mmHg for extremely low CPP below 30 mmHg and ∆CPPopt below - 30 mmHg. In linear mixed effect models, ICP, CPP, PRx, and ∆CPPopt were significantly associated with pbtO2, but the fixed effects could only explain a very small extent of the pbtO2 variation. CONCLUSIONS PbtO2 below 20 mmHg was relatively frequent and often occurred in the absence of disturbances in ICP, PRx, CPP, and ∆CPPopt. There were significant, but weak associations between the global cerebral physiological variables and pbtO2, suggesting that hypoxic pbtO2 is often a complex and independent pathophysiological event. Thus, other variables may be more crucial to explain pbtO2 and, likewise, pbtO2 may not be a suitable outcome measure to determine whether global cerebral blood flow optimization such as CPPopt therapy is successful.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated whether early electroencephalographic features predicted intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebrovascular pressure reactivity, brain tissue oxygenation, and functional outcomes in patients with pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of a prospective data set of 63 patients with pediatric TBI. Electroencephalographic features were collected in the first 24 h of recording to predict values of ICP, pressure reactivity index (PRx), and brain tissue oxygenation (PbtO2) through the initial 7 days of critical care monitoring, in addition to Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended-Pediatric Revision (GOSE-Peds) scores at 12 months. Electroencephalographic features were averaged over all surface electrodes and included seizures, interictal epileptiform discharges, suppression percentage, complexity, the alpha/delta power ratio, and both absolute asymmetry indices and power in beta (13-20 Hz), alpha (8-13 Hz), theta (4-7 Hz) and delta (0-4 Hz) bands. Demographic data and injury severity scores, such as the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Pediatric Risk of Mortality III (PRISM III) scores, at presentation were also assessed. Univariate and multiple linear regression with guided stepwise variable selection was used to find combinations of risk factors that best explain variability in ICP, PRx, PbtO2, and GOSE-Peds values, and best fit models were applied to pediatric age strata. We hypothesized that suppression percentage and the alpha/delta power ratio in the first 24 h of recording predict ICP, PRx, PbtO2, and GOSE-Peds values. RESULTS Best subset model selection identified that increased suppression percentage and PRISM III scores predicted increased ICP (R2 = 79%, Akaike information criterion [AIC] = 332.30, root mean square error [RMSE] = 6.62), with suppression percentages < 5% (slope = - 5687.0, p = 0.0001) and ≥ 45% (slope = 9825.9, p = 0.0000) being predictive of dose of intracranial hypertension. When accounting for age and GCS score, increased suppression percentage predicted increased PRx values, suggestive of inefficient cerebrovascular pressure reactivity (R2 = 53%, AIC = 3.93, RMSE = 0.23), with suppression percentages ≥ 5% (p = 0.0033) and ≥ 45% (p = 0.0027) being predictive of median PRx values ≥ 0.3. Lower GCS scores, the presence of seizures, and increased suppression percentages each were independently associated with higher GOSE-Peds scores (R2 = 52%, AIC = 194.04, RMSE = 1.58), suggestive of unfavorable outcomes, with suppression percentages ≥ 5% (p = 0.0005) and ≥ 45% (p = 0.0000) being predictive of GOSE-Peds scores ≥ 5. At the univariate level, no electroencephalographic or clinical feature was associated with differences in PbtO2 values. CONCLUSIONS Increased electroencephalographic suppression percentage on the initial day of monitoring may identify patients with pediatric TBI at risk of increased ICP, inefficient cerebrovascular pressure reactivity, and unfavorable outcomes.

Abstract
Invasive neuromonitoring has become an important part of pediatric neurocritical care, as neuromonitoring devices provide objective data that can guide patient management in real time. New modalities continue to emerge, allowing clinicians to integrate data that reflect different aspects of cerebral function to optimize patient management. Currently, available common invasive neuromonitoring devices that have been studied in the pediatric population include the intracranial pressure monitor, brain tissue oxygenation monitor, jugular venous oximetry, cerebral microdialysis, and thermal diffusion flowmetry. In this review, we describe these neuromonitoring technologies, including their mechanisms of function, indications for use, advantages and disadvantages, and efficacy, in pediatric neurocritical care settings with respect to patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brain tissue hypoxia is an independent risk factor for unfavorable outcomes in traumatic brain injury (TBI); however, systemic hyperoxemia encountered in the prevention and/or response to brain tissue hypoxia may also impact risk of mortality. We aimed to identify temporal patterns of partial pressure of oxygen in brain tissue (PbtO2), partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2), and PbtO2/PaO2 ratio associated with mortality in children with severe TBI. METHODS Data were extracted from the electronic medical record of a quaternary care children's hospital with a level I trauma center for patients ≤ 18 years old with severe TBI and the presence of PbtO2 and/or intracranial pressure monitors. Temporal analyses were performed for the first 5 days of hospitalization by using locally estimated scatterplot smoothing for less than 1,000 observations and generalized additive models with integrated smoothness estimation for more than 1,000 observations. RESULTS A total of 138 intracranial pressure-monitored patients with TBI (median 5.0 [1.9-12.8] years; 65% boys; admission Glasgow Coma Scale score 4 [3-7]; mortality 18%), 71 with PbtO2 monitors and 67 without PbtO2 monitors were included. Distinct patterns in PbtO2, PaO2, and PbtO2/PaO2 were evident between survivors and nonsurvivors over the first 5 days of hospitalization. Time-series analyses showed lower PbtO2 values on day 1 and days 3-5 and lower PbtO2/PaO2 ratios on days 1, 2, and 5 among patients who died. Analysis of receiver operating characteristics curves using Youden's index identified a PbtO2 of 30 mm Hg and a PbtO2/PaO2 ratio of 0.12 as the cut points for discriminating between survivors and nonsurvivors. Univariate logistic regression identified PbtO2 < 30 mm Hg, hyperoxemia (PaO2 ≥ 300 mm Hg), and PbtO2/PaO2 ratio < 0.12 to be independently associated with mortality. CONCLUSIONS Lower PbtO2, higher PaO2, and lower PbtO2/PaO2 ratio, consistent with impaired oxygen diffusion into brain tissue, were associated with mortality in this cohort of children with severe TBI. These results corroborate our prior work that suggests targeting a higher PbtO2 threshold than recommended in current guidelines and highlight the potential use of the PbtO2/PaO2 ratio in the management of severe pediatric TBI.

Abstract
Localized increases in neuronal activity are supported by the hemodynamic response, which delivers oxygen to the brain tissue to support synaptic functions, action potentials and other neuronal processes. However, it remains unknown if changes in baseline neuronal activity, which are expected to reflect neuronal metabolic demand, alter the relationship between the local hemodynamic and oxygen behaviour. In order to better characterize this system, we examine here the relationship between brain tissue oxygen (PO2) and hemodynamic responses (BOLD functional MRI) under different levels of neuronal activity. By comparing the stimulus-evoked responses during different levels of baseline neuronal activity, the awake state vs isoflurane anesthesia, we were able to measure how a known change in neuronal demand affected tissue PO2 as well as the hemodynamic response to stimulation. We observed a high correlation between stimulus-evoked PO2 and BOLD responses in the awake state. Moreover, we found that the evoked PO2 and BOLD responses were still present despite the elevated tissue oxygen baseline and decreased baseline of neuronal activity under low concentration isoflurane, and that the magnitudes of these responses decreased by similar proportions but the relationship between these signals was distorted. Our findings point to distortion of the BOLD-PO2 relationship due to anesthesia. The feedback mechanism to adjust the level of brain tissue oxygen, as well as the correlation between BOLD and PO2 responses, are impaired even by a small dose of anesthetics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Continuous bedside brain tissue oxygen monitoring is an essential part of managing comatose patients with acute brain injury. Maintenance of adequate brain oxygenation has been established as an important goal in neurocritical care to prevent patients from secondary ischemia. As patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury often require early magnetic resonance imaging, conventionally implanted metal bolts are disadvantageous due to massive artifacts. We hereby report a novel technique of magnetic resonance imaging conditional bedside implantation of a brain tissue oxygenation probe. METHODS We performed bedside implantation of a Licox brain tissue oxygenation probe with a peripheral venous cannula that is placed through a plastic bolt placed on a burr hole. RESULTS Bedside implantation of a Licox brain tissue oxygenation probe was successfully performed in a novel fashion. CONCLUSIONS This article describes the feasibility of a novel technique of bedside implantation of a Licox brain tissue oxygenation probe, resulting in a length-adjustable insertion and rigid fixation without metal artifacts in early magnetic resonance imaging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) is a portable, bedside, noninvasive diagnostic tool used for the real-time assessment of cerebral hemodynamics. Despite the evident utility of TCD and the ability of this technique to function as a stethoscope to the brain, its use has been limited to specialized centers because of the dearth of technical and clinical expertise required to acquire and interpret the cerebrovascular parameters. Additionally, the conventional pragmatic episodic TCD monitoring protocols lack dynamic real-time feedback to guide time-critical clinical interventions. Fortunately, with the recent advent of automated robotic TCD technology in conjunction with the automated software for TCD data processing, we now have the technology to automatically acquire TCD data and obtain clinically relevant information in real-time. By obviating the need for highly trained clinical personnel, this technology shows great promise toward a future of widespread noninvasive monitoring to guide clinical care in patients with acute brain injury. METHODS Here, we describe a proposal for a prospective observational multicenter clinical trial to evaluate the safety and feasibility of prolonged automated robotic TCD monitoring in patients with severe acute traumatic brain injury (TBI). We will enroll patients with severe non-penetrating TBI with concomitant invasive multimodal monitoring including, intracranial pressure, brain tissue oxygenation, and brain temperature monitoring as part of standard of care in centers with varying degrees of TCD availability and experience. Additionally, we propose to evaluate the correlation of pertinent TCD-based cerebral autoregulation indices such as the critical closing pressure, and the pressure reactivity index with the brain tissue oxygenation values obtained invasively. CONCLUSIONS The overarching goal of this study is to establish safety and feasibility of prolonged automated TCD monitoring for patients with TBI in the intensive care unit and identify clinically meaningful and pragmatic noninvasive targets for future interventions.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to study brain tissue oxygenation during the period of controlled reduction of arterial blood pressure - a maneuver often used in extended endoscopic skull base surgery for bloodless operative field. METHODS Intracranial pressure, arterial blood pressure and the resultant cerebral perfusion pressure were measured during extended endoscopic skull base surgery in 5 patients with diagnosed tumors of the skull base and arterial hypertension. Simultaneously, in those patients, we measured partial pressure of oxygen in the brain parenchyma (PbtO2). RESULTS Values of PbtO2 lower than 15 mm Hg (risk of brain ischemia) were observed in 3 patients for periods of 40 min, 110 min and 123 min, respectively. In 2 of these patients, no hypotension (mean arterial pressure <65 mm Hg) was necessary for bloodless operative field. Another 2 patients had PbtO2 above 30 mm Hg at the time when their mean arterial pressure was below 65 mm Hg. The time course of PbtO2 followed that of cerebral perfusion pressure with a time lag of 40-60 s in all patients. CONCLUSION Moderate reduction of arterial pressure, often used to obtain bloodless operative field during extended endoscopic skull base surgery, may in patients with the medical history of arterial hypertension be associated with critically low values of partial oxygen pressure in brain tissue.

Abstract
Although vascular contributions to dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are increasingly recognized, the potential brain oxygenation disruption associated with AD and whether preventive strategies to maintain tissue oxygenation are beneficial remain largely unknown. This study aimed to examine (1) whether brain oxygenation is compromised by the onset of AD and (2) how voluntary exercise modulates the influence of AD on brain oxygenation. In vivo 2-photon phosphorescence lifetime microscopy was used to investigate local changes of brain tissue oxygenation with the progression of AD and its modulation by exercise in the barrel cortex of awake transgenic AD mice. Our results show that cerebral tissue oxygen partial pressure (PO2) decreased with the onset of AD. Reduced PO2 was associated with the presence of small near-hypoxic areas, an increased oxygen extraction fraction, and reduced blood flow, observations that were all reverted by exercise. AD and age also increased the spatial heterogeneity of brain tissue oxygenation, which was normalized by exercise. Ex vivo staining also showed fewer amyloid-β (Aβ) deposits in the exercise group. Finally, we observed correlations between voluntary running distance and cerebral tissue oxygenation/blood flow, suggesting a dose-response relationship of exercise on the brain. Overall, this study suggests that compromised brain oxygenation is an indicator of the onset of AD, with the emergence of potential deleterious mechanisms associated with hypoxia. Furthermore, voluntary exercise enhanced the neurovascular oxygenation process, potentially offering a means to delay these changes.

Abstract
Background To maintain adequate oxygen delivery to tissue, resuscitation of critically ill patients is guided by assessing surrogate markers of perfusion. As there is no direct indicator of cerebral perfusion used in routine critical care, identifying an accurate strategy to monitor brain perfusion is paramount. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive technique to quantify regional cerebral oxygenation (rSO2) that has been used for decades during cardiac surgery which has led to targeted algorithms to optimize rSO2 being developed. However, these targeted algorithms do not exist during critical care, as the physiological determinants of rSO2 during critical illness remain poorly understood. Materials and methods This prospective observational study was an exploratory analysis of a nested cohort of patients within the CONFOCAL study (NCT02344043) who received high-fidelity vital sign monitoring. Adult patients (≥ 18 years) admitted < 24 h to a medical/surgical intensive care unit were eligible if they had shock and/or required mechanical ventilation. Patients underwent rSO2 monitoring with the FORESIGHT oximeter for 24 h, vital signs were concurrently recorded, and clinically ordered arterial blood gas samples and hemoglobin concentration were also documented. Simultaneous multiple linear regression was performed using all available predictors, followed by model selection using the corrected Akaike information criterion (AICc). Results Our simultaneous multivariate model included age, heart rate, arterial oxygen saturation, mean arterial pressure, pH, partial pressure of oxygen, partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), and hemoglobin concentration. This model accounted for a significant proportion of variance in rSO2 (R2 = 0.58, p < 0.01) and was significantly associated with PaCO2 (p < 0.05) and hemoglobin concentration (p < 0.01). Our selected regression model using AICc accounted for a significant proportion of variance in rSO2 (R2 = 0.54, p < 0.01) and was significantly related to age (p < 0.05), PaCO2 (p < 0.01), hemoglobin (p < 0.01), and heart rate (p < 0.05). Conclusions Known and established physiological determinants of oxygen delivery accounted for a significant proportion of the rSO2 signal, which provides evidence that NIRS is a viable modality to assess cerebral oxygenation in critically ill adults. Further elucidation of the determinants of rSO2 has the potential to develop a NIRS-guided resuscitation algorithm during critical illness.

Abstract
Multimodal neuromonitoring has become a fundamental part of management for many neurosurgical disorders such as subarachnoid hemorrhage and severe traumatic brain injury. Brain tissue oxygen tension monitoring requires insertion of a probe into the brain parenchyma through a single multiple lumen bolt, or in a subcutaneously tunneled fashion. As those patients often require early magnetic resonance imaging, typically using bolts is disadvantageous due to massive metal artifact. Similarly, subcutaneous tunneling is often problematic as suture fixation can loosen over time. We hereby report a new method of fixation of the Licox brain tissue oxygenation probe with 1 or 2 3-way taps that are attached to a standard plastic cannula, resulting in a stable connection with no need for further direct sutures around the probe and above all with no metal artifacts, which negates magnetic resonance imaging. The extended fixation system was first tested with cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a brain injured porcine model. It was thereafter adopted in our daily clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Brain tissue oxygenation (pbtO2) monitoring with microprobes is increasingly used as an important parameter in addition to intracranial pressure in acutely brain-injured patients. Data on accuracy and long-term drift after use are scarce. We investigated room air readings of used pbtO2 probes for their relationship with the duration of monitoring, geographic location of the center, and manufacturer type. METHODS After finishing clinically indicated monitoring in patients, pbtO2 probes used in two centers in Berlin and Munich were explanted and cleaned to avoid blood contamination. Immediately afterward, room air readings of partial oxygen pressure (pairO2) from 44 Licox® and 10 Raumedic ® pbtO2 probes were recorded. Assumed height above sea level was 42 m for Berlin and 485 m for Munich; this resulted in assumed theoretical pairO2 readings of 157.8 mmHg in Berlin and 149.9 mmHg in Munich. RESULTS Licox ® probes in Berlin showed a mean pairO2 of 160.5 (SD 14.4) mmHg and of 147.8 (11.9) mmHg in Munich. Raumedic ® probes in Berlin showed a mean pairO2 of 170.5 (12.2) mmHg and the single Raumedic ® probe used in Munich 155 mmHg. No significant drift was found over time for probes with up to 14 days of monitoring. Prolonged use of up to 20 days showed a clinically negligible drift of 1.2 mmHg per day of use for Licox® probes.Mean absolute deviation for pairO2 from expected values was 6.4% for Licox ® and 9.7% for Raumedic ® probes. CONCLUSION Room air partial oxygen pressure pairO2 may be utilized to assess the proper function of a pbtO2 probe. It provides a tool for quality control which is easy to implement. Probe readings are stable in the clinically relevant range, even after prolonged use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are a range of opinions on the benefits and thresholds for the transfusion of red blood cells in critically ill patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and an urgent need to understand the neurophysiologic effects. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of red blood cell transfusions on cerebral tissue oxygenation (SctO2) in critically ill TBI patients. METHODS This prospective observational study enrolled consecutive TBI patients with anemia requiring transfusion. Cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO2) was measured noninvasively with bilateral frontal scalp probes using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology. Data were collected at baseline and for 24 h after transfusion. The primary outcome was the applicability of a four-wavelength near-infrared spectrometer to monitor SctO2 changes during a transfusion. Secondary outcomes included the correlation of SctO2 with other relevant physiological variables, the dependence of SctO2 on baseline hemoglobin and transfusion, and the effect of red blood cell transfusion on fractional tissue oxygen extraction. RESULTS We enrolled 24 patients with severe TBI, of which five patients (21 %) were excluded due to poor SctO2 signal quality from large subdural hematomas and bifrontal decompressive craniectomies. Twenty transfusions were monitored in 19 patients. The mean pre- and post-transfusion hemoglobin concentrations were significantly different [74 g/L (SD 8 g/L) and 84 g/L (SD 9 g/L), respectively; p value <0.0001]. Post-transfusion SctO2 was not significantly greater than pre-transfusion SctO2 [left-side pre-transfusion 69 % (SD 7) vs. post-transfusion 70 % (SD 10); p = 0.68, and right-side pre-transfusion 69 % (SD 5) vs. post-transfusion 71 % (SD 7); p = 0.11]. In a multivariable mixed linear analysis, mean arterial pressure was the only variable significantly associated with a change in SctO2. CONCLUSIONS The bifrontal method of recording changes in NIRS signal was not able to detect a measurable impact on SctO2 in this sample of patients receiving red blood cell transfusion therapy in a narrow but conventionally relevant, range of anemia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To test the hypothesis that poor brain tissue oxygenation (BtO2) during the first 24h of critical illness correlates with the proportion of time spent delirious. We also sought to define the physiological determinants of BtO2. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adult patients admitted to the ICU within the previous 24h were considered eligible for enrollment if they required mechanical ventilation, and/or vasopressor support. BtO2 was measured using near-infrared spectroscopy, for 24h after enrollment. Hourly vital signs and clinically ordered arterial and central venous blood gases were collected throughout BtO2 monitoring. Patients were screened daily for delirium with the confusion assessment method for the intensive care unit (CAM-ICU). RESULTS BtO2 and the proportion of time spent delirious did not result in a significant correlation (p=0.168). However, critically ill patients who spent the majority of their ICU stay delirious had significantly lower mean BtO2 compared to non-delirious patients, (p=0.017). BtO2 correlated positively with central venous pO2 (p=0.00003) and hemoglobin concentration (p=0.001). Logistic regression indicated that lower BtO2, higher narcotic doses and a history of alcohol abuse were independent risk factors for delirium. CONCLUSIONS Poor cerebral oxygenation during the first 24 hours of critical illness contributes to the development of delirium. TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial is registered on clinicaltrials.gov (Identifier: NCT02344043), retrospectively registered January 8, 2015.

Abstract
The challenges posed by acute brain injury (ABI) involve the management of the initial insult in addition to downstream inflammation, edema, and ischemia that can result in secondary brain injury (SBI). SBI is often subclinical, but can be detected through physiologic changes. These changes serve as a surrogate for tissue injury/cell death and are captured by parameters measured by various monitors that measure intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral blood flow (CBF), brain tissue oxygenation (PbtO2), cerebral metabolism, and electrocortical activity. In the ideal setting, multimodality monitoring (MMM) integrates these neurological monitoring parameters with traditional hemodynamic monitoring and the physical exam, presenting the information needed to clinicians who can intervene before irreversible damage occurs. There are now consensus guidelines on the utilization of MMM, and there continue to be new advances and questions regarding its use. In this review, we examine these recommendations, recent evidence for MMM, and future directions for MMM.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of voluntary breath-holding on brain activity and physiological functions. We hypothesised that prolonged apnoea would trigger cerebral hypoxia, resulting in a decrease of brain performance; and the apnoea's effects would be more pronounced in breath-hold divers. METHODS Trained breath-hold divers and non-divers performed maximal dry breath-holdings. Lung volume, alveolar partial pressures of O2 and CO2, attention and anxiety levels were estimated. Heart rate, blood pressure, arterial blood oxygenation, brain tissue oxygenation, EEG, and DC potential were monitored continuously during breath-holding. RESULTS There were a few significant changes in electrical brain activity caused by prolonged apnoea. Brain tissue oxygenation index and DC potential were relatively stable up to the end of the apnoea in breath-hold divers and non-divers. We also did not observe any decrease of attention level or speed of processing immediately after breath-holding. Interestingly, trained breath-hold divers had some peculiarities in EEG activity at resting state (before any breath-holding): non-spindled, sharpened alpha rhythm; slowed-down alpha with the frequency nearer to the theta band; and untypical spatial pattern of alpha activity. CONCLUSION Our findings contradicted the primary hypothesis. Apnoea up to 5 min does not lead to notable cerebral hypoxia or a decrease of brain performance in either breath-hold divers or non-divers. It seems to be the result of the compensatory mechanisms similar to the diving response aimed at centralising blood circulation and reducing peripheral O2 uptake. Adaptive changes during apnoea are much more prominent in trained breath-hold divers.

Abstract
Multimodal neuromonitoring in the management of traumatic brain injury (TBI) enables clinicians to make individualized management decisions to prevent secondary ischemic brain injury. Traditionally, neuromonitoring in TBI patients has consisted of a combination of clinical examination, neuroimaging and intracranial pressure monitoring. Unfortunately, each of these modalities has its limitations and although pragmatic, this simplistic approach has failed to demonstrate improved outcomes, likely owing to an inability to consider the underlying heterogeneity of various injury patterns. As neurocritical care has evolved, so has our understanding of underlying disease pathophysiology and patient specific considerations. Recent additions to the multimodal neuromonitoring platform include measures of cerebrovascular autoregulation, brain tissue oxygenation, microdialysis and continuous electroencephalography. The implementation of neurocritical care teams to manage patients with advanced brain injury has led to improved outcomes. Herein, we present a narrative review of the recent advances in multimodal neuromonitoring and highlight the utility of dedicated neurocritical care.
