Brain Monitoring: Protecting the Brain in COVID Patients and Beyond!
During the unprecedented COVID-19 epidemic, there are many key learnings gained from caring for patients presenting to the ICU. By using brain function monitoring (pEEG and cerebral oximetry) we can ensure adequate sedation, avoidance of over-sedation, optimising perfusion and oxygenation of this most important end organ in order to prevent damage that cannot be repaired, reduce length of ICU stay and improve outcome. New innovative brain and tissue monitoring applications can ensure “brain health” in the ICU now and post-COVID-19.
