Determinants of Cerebral Extracellular Potassium After Severe Human Head Injury

The key role players of brain swelling seen after severe human head injury have only been partly determined. We used our human head injury data base to determine relationships between potassium, glutamate, lactate and cerebral blood flow (CBF). A total of

Preface Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Neurochemical Monitoring in the intensive care unit In this volume, we have compiled a selected series of manuscript generated from the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Neurochemical Monitoring in the Intensive Care Unit. This was held as a satellite symposium at the time of the Tenth International Meeting on Intracranial Pressure held in Williamsburg, Virginia in May 1997. Since the first such symposium was held in Tokyo in 1994, much progress has been made in the field of n
