Cerebral microdialysis values in healthy brain tissue - a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intracerebral microdialysis is an advanced method to guide clinicians during intensive care of patients with severe acute brain injury. Using intracerebral microdialysis, markers of brain metabolism and homeostasis can be analysed. Currently, trends are considered more important in clinical decision-making than absolute values. Establishing absolute reference values in healthy brain tissue may facilitate an earlier detection of abnormal brain tissue metabolism and provide better decision support for clinicians. However, the current evidence on normal values in the uninjured human brain has not previously been summarized. The aim of this study was to summarise the literature regarding microdialysate concentrations of common markers of brain energy metabolism (glucose, lac
