Abstract

The meta-analysis by Shen et al. in Neurosurgical Review highlights the benefits of brain tissue oxygen partial pressure (PbtO2) monitoring in reducing mortality and intracranial pressure in severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. However, it also associates PbtO2 monitoring with prolonged hospital stays. Future research should focus on standardizing PbtO2 protocols, integrating with advanced neuroimaging, exploring long-term outcomes, evaluating combination therapies, and conducting cost-benefit analyses. Addressing these areas could further enhance the clinical application and efficacy of PbtO2 monitoring in improving patient outcomes.

Keywords: Intracranial pressure (ICP); Neuroimaging integration; PbtO2 monitoring; Traumatic brain injury (TBI).
