title: Cerebral physiologic monitoring.
abstract: Cerebral physiologic monitoring techniques can be categorized into those measuring perfusion, metabolism, and function. The physiologic basis for each of these is outlined, with a description of the clinical methods currently available. The clinical application of each monitoring modality is discussed with special reference to its impact on outcome of the brain-injured patient.
