[Cerebral circulatory autoregulation as a guide for controlling the parameters of assisted ventilation in acute severe brain injury].

The paper presents the results of cerebral circulation (CC) in 17 ventilated patients with severe brain injury in its acute phase. All the patients developed traumatic subarachnoidal hemorrhage, which was accompanied with angiospasm in the majority of cases. Doppler transcranial study (DTCS) was performed, by using the carotid compression test; the findings correlated with paCO2 and CV parameters.
