NEUROPROTECTIVE MECHANICAL VENTILATION STRATEGIES IN BRAIN-INJURED PATIENTS
Maximiliano A. Hawkes, MD, Alejandro A. Rabinstein, MD, Eelco F.M. Wijdicks, MD, PhD
PDF8 pages303 KB
Severe acute brain injury can significantly affect respiratory function, necessitating mechanical ventilation. This document explores the complexities of mechanical ventilation in such patients, including the risks of increased intracranial pressure and the importance of lung-protective strategies. It highlights the bidirectional effects of ventilation on both pulmonary and neuronal functions and discusses various ventilation techniques and their implications for patient outcomes.
