AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated whether Hyperventilation (HV) could prevent high Intracranial Pressure (ICP) during Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy (FB) in patients with severe head injuries.
- 34 patients were monitored, maintaining a Cerebral Perfusion Pressure (CPP) above 75 mmHg, with some receiving controlled HV during the procedure.
- Results showed that the HV group experienced lower ICP values after FB, but there were no significant differences in CPP and peak ICP between the groups.
Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate if Hyperventilation (HV) could avoid the Intracranial Pressure (ICP) peak that occurs during Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy (FB) in severely head injured patients. A Cerebral Perfusion Pressure (CPP) > 75 mmHg was maintained in 34 patients, with a subgroup randomized to receive controlled HV during FB. Measurements were done before the procedure, during maximum ICP values and 30 minutes after FB. The HV group had minor ICP values after FB, without differences in CPP and ICP peak values.
