May 14, 2018: Brain oxygen optimization in severe traumatic brain injury--A Phase II trial
Multimodality monitoring is increasingly used in the neurocritical care setting. However, the safety and efficacy of certain methods for invasive neurodiagnostic surveillance have not been definitively established. Dr. Michael Brogan discusses how this paradigm is shifting with Dr. David Okonkwo given the recent results of the BOOST-2 randomized clinical trial.
