Clinical Results
In the last decade, clinical researchers have demonstrated the significance of oxygen partial pressure measurements in the brain. A study by van Santbrink, et al (2000), examined brain tissue oxygenation (pBtO2) in 101 head trauma patients (Glasgow Coma Scale <8) using LICOX®. Despite aggressive conventional monitoring and treatment, hypoxic events were observed with the LICOX® system in more than half of these patients. The depth and duration of tissue hypoxia were related to outcome, and proved to be an independent predictor of unfavorable outcome and death.

Monitoring pBtO2 has been shown to be a reliable and sensitive diagnostic method to monitor cerebral oxygenation, and experience shows the risks of placing intraparenchymal sensors are minimal.

Clinical research has demonstrated that the prevention of secondary injury following severe head injury is well correlated with better patient outcome.
