Fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) is often complicated by high intracranial pressure (ICP) and fatal brain damage. In this study, we determined if a rise in [glutamate] ec and [lactatelec preceded surges of high ICP in patients with FHF (median age, 42; range, 20-55 years; 7 women; 3 men) by inserting
New apparatus was made whereby indices of cerebral oxygenation and haemo- dynamics in sick newborn infants could be quantified by near infrared (NIR) spectrophotometry and displayed instantaneously at the cotside. The indices included oxygenated haemoglobin, reduced haemoglobin, oxidised cytochrome
