Infections in Neurocritical Care.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Delayed neurological deficit (DND) is the most important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) whose aneurysms have been secured. However, the methods currently used to predict the development of DND, such as trans-cranial Doppler or levels biochemical markers in blo...
