Brain Tissue Oxygen Monitors
• FDA-approved November, 2000
• Measures PbtO2 in mm3 region around tip of catheter
• No Class I data that it improves outcome
• Variable penetrance of utilization in NICU
Rationale for PbtO2 monitoring
• Episodes of low PbtO2 are common after TBI
• Van den Brink et al1 (2000)
• 101 patients monitored average 86 hours
• 57% had values < 15 mm Hg
• 42% had values < 10 mm Hg
• 22% had values < 5 mm Hg
• Longhi et al2 (2007)
• Episodes PbtO2 10 - 19 mm Hg in 23% of time
• Median duration 50 minutes
• Episodes PbtO2 < 10 mm Hg 11% of the time
• Median duration 39 minutes

Rationale for PbtO2 monitoring
• Low PbtO2 is associated with poor

BOOST—Phase 2 study
Primary and Secondary Objectives
1. Primary Objective: Treatment protocol informed by PbtO2
monitoring results in reduction of brain tissue hypoxia
2. Secondary Objectives:
a. Safety hypotheses: Adverse events associated with PbtO2
monitoring are rare.
b. Feasibility hypotheses: Episodes of decreased PbtO2 can
be identified and treatment protocol instituted comparably
across clinical sites, and protocol violations will be low and
uniform across different clinical sites.
c. Non-futility hypothesis: Relative Risk of good outcome
measured by the GOS-E 6 months after injury of 2.0 is
consistent with the results of this phase II study.

BOOST-Phase 3 (BOOST3)

Primary Objective
To determine whether the prescribed treatment
protocol, informed by PbtO2 monitoring, results in

Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOS-E) 6
months after injury compared to treatment based
on intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring only.
InclusionCriteria

• Evidence of intracranial trauma on CT scan (Marshall Score > 1)
• If patient has a witnessed seizure, wait 30 min to evaluate GCS

than 12 hours from injury

least 5 minutes apart any time prior to randomization)

readings at least 5 minutes apart any time prior to randomization)
• 5. PaO2/FiO2 ratio < 200
• 6. Pre-existing neurologic disease (e.g. TBI, stroke, or neurodegenerative
disorder) with confounding residual neurologic deficits
• 7. Inability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) without assistance prior to
injury
• 8. Known active drug or alcohol dependence that, in the opinion of site
investigator, would interfere with physiological response to PbtO2 treatments
• 9. Non-survivable injury (e.g. withdrawal of care prior to randomization, no
intention for aggressive intervention, on hospice or DNR order etc.)

Isolated ICP increase Isolated PbtO2 drop ICP increase + PbtO2 drop TIER 1 • Adjust head of the bed to lower ICP • Ensure Temperature < 38 oC. • Adjust pharmacologic analgesia and sedation: Titrate to effect. • CSF drainage (if EVD available) Titrate to effect. • Standard dose Mannitol (0.25 – 1.0 g/kg), to be administered as bolus infusion. • Hypertonic saline. Titrate to ICP control and maintain serum Na+ 155-160). TIER 1 • Adjust head of the bed to improve brain oxygen level • Ensure Temperature < 38 oC. • Increase CPP to 70 mm Hg with fluid bolus. • Optimize hemodynamics. • Increase PaO2 by increasing FiO2 to 60%. • Increase PaO2 by adjusting PEEP • Add EEG monitoring • Consider adding AED’s, either Dilantin or Keppra, for 1 week only. TIER 1 • Adjust head of the bed to lower ICP • Ensure Temperature < 38 oC. • Pharmacologic analgesia and sedation • CSF drainage (if EVD available). • Increase CPP up to a maximum >70 mm Hg with fluid bolus. • Standard dose Mannitol, to be administered as bolus infusion. (0.25 – 0.5 mg/kg). • Hypertonic saline • Adjust ventilator parameters to increase paO2 by increasing FiO2 to 60%. • Increase FiO2 by increasing PEEP. • Consider EEG monitoring • Consider AED’s, either Dilantin or Keppra, for 1 week only. TIER 2 • Adjust ventilatory rate to lower paCO2 to 32 – 35 mm Hg. • High dose Mannitol > 1 g/kg. • Repeat CT to determine if increased size of intracranial mass lesions. • Treat surgically remediable lesions with craniotomy according to guidelines. • Adjust temperature to 35 – 37o C, using active cooling measures. TIER 2 • Adjust ventilator parameters to increase paO2. by increasing FiO2 to 100%. • Increase paO2 by adjusting PEEP • Increase CPP up to a maximum of 70 mmHg with vasopressors. • Adjust ventilatory rate to increase paCO2 to 45 – 50 mm Hg. • Transfuse pRBCs to reach Hgb > 10 g/dL. • Decrease ICP to < 10 mm Hg. • CSF drainage. • Increased sedation. TIER 2. • High dose Mannitol 1 g/kg, or frequent boluses standard dose Mannitol • Increase CPP up to maximum of 70 mm Hg with vasopressors. • Adjust ventilator parameters to increase paO2 by increasing FiO2 to 100%. • Increase FiO2 by increasing PEEP • Transfuse to Hgb > 10 g/dL. • Repeat CT to determine if increased size of intracranial mass lesions. • Treat surgically remediable lesions with craniotomy according to guidelines • Induced hypothermia to 35 - 37o C, using active cooling measures.
