Surg Clin North Am. 1999 Dec;79(6):1449-70. doi: 10.1016/s0039-6109(05)70087-6.

Abstract

The next millennium will see an explosion of neuromonitoring technology that will provide a more detailed understanding of brain-injured patients. This understanding will allow an individualized and intelligent application of the wide range of therapies that will become available. The measure of success for all of these endeavors will be individual patients and physicians' ability to return them to their normal lives.
