What is it about?

Preserving the buffering capacity of cerebral blood flow may represent a relevant physiological target for the refinement of multimodal neuromonitoring strategies.

Why is it important?

It challenges the traditional interpretation of PbtO₂ under hyperoxemia, proposing a physiologically grounded framework that links oxygen dynamics to hemoglobin states and cerebral metabolism.

Perspectives

This work encourages a paradigm shift in brain oxygen monitoring, integrating biochemical hemoglobin behavior into multimodal neuromonitoring to improve interpretation, precision, and clinical decision-making.
