Abstract:
Controversy exists regarding the brain tissue oxygen (PbtO2) monitor's optimal tip location and what it actually measures. Recent work [2] identified a "PbtO2 change point" (CPPbt), below which PbtO2 displays pressure-passive behavior, showing significant correlation with optimal cerebral perfusion pressure (CPPopt) as defined by the pressure reactivity index (PRx). This would further support the concept of CPPopt [1] as an individualized target. We endeavored to validate these findings and further explore the relationship between PbtO2 and suboptimal CPP. CPPopt can be determined 55 % of the time [1]. It is undetermined whether PbtO2 can be an adjunctive modality for determining CPPopt.
