Secondary ischemia prevention: a hybrid diffuse optical assessment of misery perfusion risk in the context of hyperventilation

Abstract

Hyperventilation (HV) can lower intracranial pressure to prevent secondary injuries in traumatic brain injury patients. Hybrid diffuse optics can detect misery perfusion, precursor of ischemia, to help guiding personalized therapy during HV. 22/27 measurement sessions (18 patients) showed MP risk.
