Multimodal intracranial monitoring: implications for clinical practice.
This article presents an overview of intracranial monitoring techniques during the perioperative and intensive care management of neurologic patients. Various regional and global brain monitors are available; some modalities are well established whereas others are new to the clinical arena and their indications are still being evaluated. Indications for monitoring are reviewed, modalities critically evaluated, and future directions identified.
