Intensive Monitoring of Brain Injured Patients

NCT00163774 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2008-05-19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Analysis of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygenation using complementary focal and global monitoring techniques will permit the delivery of more informed individualised and 'targeted' therapy on the patient with severe head injury, reduce episodes of secondary brain injury and therefore improve outcomes.

Aims

* To develop a deeper understanding of Cerebral Blood Flow and auto-regulation for TBI patients based on the results of data collected in patients post TBI.
* To establish the basis for further multi modality clinical trials in severely brain injured patients in the future.
* To improve understanding of the various secondary processes that continue to cause neuronal damage after the initial injury, and therefore affect patient outcome.
* To proceed to the second phase of the study, with the introduction of algorithms for treatment.
