Radiofrequency properties of two different Licox ® parenchymal brain tissue oxygen probe designs

Neuroimaging and continuous multimodality neuromonitoring are both central to the intensive care management of patients with severe traumatic brain injury  [1]. Guidelines recommend the use of multimodality monitors including brain tissue oxygen (PbtO2) sensors to assess the adequacy of cerebral oxygen delivery [2]. Devices such as the Licox® sensor (Integra LifeSciences, Plainsboro, NJ) employ a miniature implantable electrochemical cell. Temperat ure compensation is essential for accurate measurements and the device is now available with an integrated temperature sensor (Model CC1P1)[3].
