Cerebral lactate metabolic patterns in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) over the first 5 days of monitoring. Histograms represent individual cerebral metabolic lactate patterns (hypoxic vs. glycolytic) during the first 5 days after TBI. Hypoxic lactate=cerebral microdialysis (CMD) lactate >4 mmol/L with PbtO2 <20 mm Hg; glycolytic lactate=CMD lactate >4 mmol/L with pyruvate >119 μmol/L. Data are mean±s.e.m.
