Article Synopsis
- Subarachnoid hemorrhage can lead to increased intracranial pressure, resulting in complications like acute gastric dilation and delayed gastric emptying, which can impact patient recovery.
- A literature review highlights the connection between brain injuries, gut motility, and gastric emptying, indicating that decreased parasympathetic activity may contribute to food intolerance in these patients.
- Changes in gastrointestinal transit after brain injury follow a biphasic pattern, and understanding these effects could improve management strategies for patients with intracranial hypertension.
