Multimodal monitoring system in traumatic brain injury

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) poses great threats to human health. Due to complicated progresses of primary and secondary injuries, patients' conditions are unstable and thus influence the prognosis. Although it requires to monitor TBI patients effectively, current approaches of TBI monitoring are limited so that a comprehensive understanding of disease progression cannot be accessed. This review summarizes the techniques currently applied and techniques in research stage, from macroscopic to microscopic scales. These techniques are potentially to be integrated to establish multimodal monitoring system in the future for providing precise and comprehensive information, which helps to enhance the treatment of TBI patients.
