AI Article Synopsis
- * These technologies are portable, repeatable, and allow for ongoing data collection, but there's a lack of strong research supporting their use in clinical settings.
- * More comprehensive multicenter studies are needed to fill gaps in knowledge and improve the application of these technologies in pediatric intensive care.
Article Abstract
Background: Noninvasive neuromonitoring in critically ill children includes multiple modalities that all intend to improve our understanding of acute and ongoing brain injury.
Methods: In this article, we review basic methods and devices, applications in clinical care and research, and explore potential future directions for three noninvasive neuromonitoring modalities in the pediatric intensive care unit: automated pupillometry, near-infrared spectroscopy, and transcranial Doppler ultrasonography.
Results: All three technologies are noninvasive, portable, and easily repeatable to allow for serial measurements and trending of data over time. However, a paucity of high-quality data supporting the clinical utility of any of these technologies in critically ill children is currently a major limitation to their widespread application in the pediatric intensive care unit.
Conclusions: Future prospective multicenter work addressing major knowledge gaps is necessary to advance the field of pediatric noninvasive neuromonitoring.
