Proper Partial Pressure of Arterial Oxygen for Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury.

BACKGROUND The partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO₂) is critical to the outcome of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, it is not clear what range of PaO2 should be maintained to improve patient outcome. The aim of this study was to explore the PaO2 value needed in the acute phase of TBI and provide new evidence for clinical practice.

[The influence of positive end-expiratory pressure on central venous pressure in patients with severe craniocerebral injury].

Objective: To observe the impact of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on central venous pressure (CVP) in mechanically ventilated patients with severe craniocerebral injury.

Methods: A prospective, interventional, self-control study was conducted. Thirty severe craniocerebral injury patients with central respiratory failure were enrolled.
