This topical collection overviews neuromonitoring modalities in children with a special attention to traumatic brain injury and system issues. We report some recommended subtopics for authors to include in manuscripts. (1) Review of neuromonitoring modalities: • How does the monitor work and what does it measure; • What devices are clinically available and pros/cons of each device/technology; • Indications for use; • How to use clinically in patient care and evidence for use; • Future directions. (2) Neuromonitoring in patients with acute brain injury: • Pathophysiology review of the type of brain injury; • Evidence for use/management; • Pragmatic clinical suggestions; • Associations of monitoring with outcomes; • Future directions. (3) Systems issues: • Building a neuromonitoring program; • Reporting of data; • Training of providers; • Database management; • Separating or integrating clinical care and research. Papers can be submitted via Editorial Manager by selecting the the relevant Topical Collection title. Please note: all submissions will be evaluated for relevance to the theme and undergo a regular peer review process.
