Multimodality Monitoring Directed Management of Patients Suffering From Traumatic Brain Injury

Decrease of lactate:pyruvate ratio to below 25

How many patients have the different pathological targets, including 1. Intracranial hypertension (LPR corrected if ICP <20mmHg), 2. Delivery failure (if LPR is corrected when PbO2 is improved and CPP increased). 3.Oxygen Diffusion Barrier (LPR is corrected if PbO2 is increased through FiO2 increase). 4. Neuroglycopenia (LPR is corrected if brain glucose is increased) or 5. Mitochondrial dysfunction (LPR remains increased despite all the therapies applied).

Correlation between Microdialysis parameters (glucose (mmol/L), lactate (mmol/L), pyruvate (mmol/L) and glutamate (µmol/L)) and PbO2 (mmHg), ICP (mmHg) and CPP (mmHg)

extended Glasgow Outcome Score 6 months following trauma assessed in the outpatient clinic at Addenbrooke's Hospital. Comparison between patients in different pathological targets.

Amount of cytokine concentration in microdialysis sample. Comparison between patients in different pathological targets.

Amount of S100B concentration (µg/L) through serum samples taken twice daily in the neuro-critical care unit. Comparison between patients in different pathological targets.
