Intraparenchymal Neuromonitoring of Cerebral Fat Embolism Syndrome

Objectives We aimed to characterize the cerebrovascular physiology of cerebral fat embolism using invasive multimodal neuromonitoring. Data sources ICU, Vancouver General Hospital, Vancouver, BC, Canada. Study selection Case report. Data extraction Patient monitoring software (ICM+, Cambridge, United Kingdom), clinical records, and surgical records. Data synthesis None. Conclusions Our integrated assessment of the cerebrovascular physiology of fat embolism syndrome provides a physiologic basis to investigate the importance of augmenting mean arterial pressure to optimize cerebral oxygen delivery for the mitigation of long-term neurologic ischemic sequelae of cerebral fat embolism.
