Cerebral metabolism is not affected by moderate hyperventilation in patients with traumatic brain injury

Abstract Background Hyperventilation-induced hypocapnia (HV) reduces elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), a dangerous and potentially fatal complication of traumatic brain injury (TBI). HV decreases the arteriolar diameter of intracranial vessels, raising the risk of cerebral ischemia. The aim of t...
