Invasive neuromonitoring is a mainstay of modern management of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Complication rates of neuromonitor placement are widely reported, but their effects on long-term outcomes are less studied. We evaluated the association of neuromonitor complications on long-term outcomes in a prospective severe TBI cohort. ⋯ Complications of neuromonitoring in severe TBI are associated with delayed recovery but not long-term outcomes.
