Any thoughts or opinions on brain tissue oxygenation monitoring for
severe TBI?  One of our neurosurgeons is interested in implementing it
here.  

The one reference I have in hand (Stiefel, et al: Reduced mortality rate
in patients with severe traumatic brain injury treated with brain tissue
oxygen monitoring.  JNeurosurg 103:805-811, 2005) is interesting; but
the numbers are small, especially in terms of functional outcome.

Teach me, everybody.
