Physiology Based Management of TBI: Challenges to Guide Therapy

Friday, May 3, 2019
1:00 pm EDT (US)

Clinical management of severe traumatic brain injury has traditionally been focused on control of intracranial pressure, which may be an insensitive and late indicator of secondary brain injury. The monitoring and treating of other physiologic variables, particularly brain tissue oxygenation (PbtO2), may enhance patient care. Insights regarding physiological changes in the brain may be determined through responses of PbtO2 to controlled changes in FiO2, CO2 and MAP.

The methods to perform and interpret these dynamic “challenges” will be the focus of our next webinar given by Lori Shutter, MD, FNCS, FCCM, Professor of Critical Care Medicine, Neurology and Neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh.
