[Multimodal monitoring in severe craniocerebral trauma: state the art]

Traumatic brain injury is a public health problem and leading cause of death. In the context of a severe head injury, monitoring strategies give us the option to analyze the posterior intracranial alterations to the primary lesion. Neuromonitoring allows us to identify the deterioration of neurological function and the presence of secondary brain injury that may benefit from a therapeutic intervention letting us know pathophysiological changes that occur in a patient with brain injury. Understanding the physiological data allow to individualize therapies and interpret variables that ultimately help us choice a better treatment.
