Glucose and the Injured Brain-Monitored in the Neurointensive Care Unit
Brain has a continuous demand for energy that is met by oxidative metabolism of oxygen and glucose. This demand is compromised in the injured brain and if the inadequate supply persists it will lead to permanent tissue damage. Zero values of cerebral glucose have been associated with infarction and poor neurological outcome. Furthermore, hyperglycemia is common in patients with neurological ins...
متن کاملInterstitial glycerol as a marker for membrane phospholipid degradation in the acutely injured human brain.
OBJECTIVE Brain interstitial glycerol was studied as a potential marker for membrane phospholipid degradation in acute human brain injury. METHODS Glycerol was measured in microdialysis samples from the frontal lobe cortex in four patients in the neurointensive care unit, during the acute phase after severe aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. Microdialysis probes were inserted in conjunction...
متن کاملMonitoring of glucose in brain, adipose tissue, and peripheral blood in patients with traumatic brain injury: a microdialysis study.
BACKGROUND Episodes of hyperglycemia are considered to be a secondary insult in traumatically brain-injured patients and have been shown to be associated with impaired outcome. Intensive insulin therapy to maintain a strict glucose level has been suggested to decrease morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients but this aggressive insulin treatment has been challenged. One aspect of stri...
متن کاملCerebral Microdialysis for Protein Biomarker Monitoring in the Neurointensive Care Setting – A Technical Approach
Cerebral microdialysis (MD) was introduced as a neurochemical monitoring method in the early 1990s and is currently widely used for the sampling of low molecular weight molecules, signaling energy crisis, and cellular distress in the neurointensive care (NIC) setting. There is a growing interest in MD for harvesting of intracerebral protein biomarkers of secondary injury mechanisms in acute tra...
متن کاملClinical microdialysis in neuro-oncology: principles and applications
Clinical microdialysis allows a discrete volume of the brain to be sampled for neurochemical analysis of neurotransmitters, metabolites, biomarkers, and drugs. The technique can be safely used in humans intraoperatively, in the intensive care unit, and in ambulatory settings. Microdialysis probes, micropumps, and analytical equipment are commercially available and have been used extensively for...
