ICP management in patients suffering from traumatic brain injury: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cerebral ischemia is considered a key factor in the development of secondary damage after Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Studies on Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF) have documented decreased flow in over 50% of patients with TBI, studied in the acute phase. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) sonography is a non-invasive tec...
