Correlation of brain flow variables and metabolic crisis: a prospective study in patients with severe traumatic brain injury

ConclusionsMetabolic crisis can occur despite a MM&GDTP approach aimed at optimizing cerebral blood flow. Severe metabolic crisis is associated to failure to maintain CPP and PbtO2 above 60 and 20  mmHg, respectively. The occurrence of severe metabolic crisis portends a poor prognosis in patients with sTBI.
