Abstract

Background:Maintaining adequate brainoxygenation is a primary goal in themanagement of severe traumatic braininjury (TBI). Jugular venous oxygensaturation (SjvO₂) monitoring is auseful technique for estimating theglobal balance between cerebral oxygensupply and metabolic demand. The FullOutline of Responsiveness (FOUR)score is a newer consciousnessassessment tool that has been proposedas an alternative to the Glasgow
