Ultra-Rapid Developing Infectious Aneurysms.

abstract：BACKGROUND:This study investigated if cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation by changes of the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) can be used therapeutically to increase CBF and improve neurological outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS:In 12 mechanically ventilated poor-grade SAH-patient...
