Supraophthalmic carotid infusion for brain-tumor chemotherapy. Technical note.

abstract：OBJECT:Brain tissue acidosis is known to mediate neuronal death. Therefore the authors measured the main parameters of cerebral acid-base homeostasis, as well as their interrelations, shortly after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) in humans. METHODS:Brain tissue pH, PCO2, PO2, and/or lactate were measured in 151 pa...
