Monitoring of brain tissue oxygenation (PbtO2) is an important component of multimodal monitoring in traumatic brain injury. Over recent years, use of PbtO2 monitoring has also increased in patients with poor-grade subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), particularly in those with delayed cerebral ischemia. The aim of this scoping review was to summarize the current state of the art regarding the use of this invasive neuromonitoring tool in patients with SAH. Our results showed that PbtO2 monitoring is a safe and reliable method to assess regional cerebral tissue oxygenation and that PbtO2 represents the oxygen available in the brain interstitial space for aerobic energy production (i.e., the product of cerebral blood flow and the arterio-venous oxygen tension difference). The PbtO2 probe should be placed in the area at risk of ischemia (i.e., in the vascular territory in which cerebral vasospasm is expected to occur). The most widely used PbtO2 threshold to define brain tissue hypoxia and initiate specific treatment is between 15 and 20 mm Hg. PbtO2 values can help identify the need for or the effects of various therapies, such as hyperventilation, hyperoxia, induced hypothermia, induced hypertension, red blood cell transfusion, osmotic therapy, and decompressive craniectomy. Finally, a low PbtO2 value is associated with a worse prognosis, and an increase of the PbtO2 value in response to treatment is a marker of good outcome.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010100 Oxygen An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration. Dioxygen,Oxygen-16,Oxygen 16
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002534 Hypoxia, Brain A reduction in brain oxygen supply due to ANOXEMIA (a reduced amount of oxygen being carried in the blood by HEMOGLOBIN), or to a restriction of the blood supply to the brain, or both. Severe hypoxia is referred to as anoxia and is a relatively common cause of injury to the central nervous system. Prolonged brain anoxia may lead to BRAIN DEATH or a PERSISTENT VEGETATIVE STATE. Histologically, this condition is characterized by neuronal loss which is most prominent in the HIPPOCAMPUS; GLOBUS PALLIDUS; CEREBELLUM; and inferior olives.

D002545 Brain Ischemia Localized reduction of blood flow to brain tissue due to arterial obstruction or systemic hypoperfusion. This frequently occurs in conjunction with brain hypoxia (HYPOXIA, BRAIN). Prolonged ischemia is associated with BRAIN INFARCTION.

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000070642 Brain Injuries, Traumatic A form of acquired brain injury which occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain.

D013345 Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Bleeding into the intracranial or spinal SUBARACHNOID SPACE, most resulting from INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSM rupture. It can occur after traumatic injuries (SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE, TRAUMATIC). Clinical features include HEADACHE; NAUSEA; VOMITING, nuchal rigidity, variable neurological deficits and reduced mental status.
