Pediatric Longitudinal Clivus Fracture: Survival With Minimal Morbidity.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Ischemic and hypoxic secondary brain insults are common and detrimental in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Treatment aims to maintain an adequate cerebral blood flow with sufficient arterial oxygen content. It has been suggested that arterial hyperoxia may be beneficial to the injured brain to compensate for c...
