ABSTRACT=With the advancements in modern medicine, new modalities are being developed for monitoring patients in critical care unit. Different modalities evaluate different aspects of patient’s physiology and clinical status. Complexities of said modalities often limit their use to the realm of clinical research, limiting their use in the real world. Understanding the salient features of these modalities and their limitations can aid physicians to interpret the concomitant information provided by multiple modalities to make judicious decisions that may affect clinical care and outcomes. We present a review of the commonly used modalities in the neurological intensive care units with practical recommendations for their use.
