Abstract
Summary Comatose patients run a high risk of developing cerebral ischaemia which may considerably influence final outcome. It would therefore be extremely useful if one could monitor cerebral blood flow in these patients. Since there is a close correlation between the arteriovenous difference of oxygen and cerebral blood flow, it was a logical step to place a fiberoptic catheter in the jugular bulb for continuous measurement of cerebrovenous oxygen saturation.
