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.
