Our findings suggest a good tolerance, a decrease in blood glucose, clinically relevant shortening of ICU stay, and shorter time on mechanical ventilation for patients treated with olive oil based than with conventional glucose-heavy nutrition.

Combining 3 different neuromonitoring functions in 1 probe might ease monitoring by making a second (ptiO2) probe unnecessary. Interpretation of our data is limited by several factors: (1) monocentric study; (2) reduced mechanical probe stability, handling difficulties with the double lumen bolt; (3) design changes to improve mechanical stability will require further study; (4) conflict of interest with Raumedic because of its support for the study. The conclusion drawn from our study is that the new multiparameter probe evaluated does measure ICP, TBr, and ptiO2. But all the initial data given in this paper have to be interpreted cautiously. A new study will be necessary when the mechanical stability of the new probe has been improved.

These data do not support the notion of a clinically useful correlation between brain temperature and ICP.
