Prediction of the physiological dead space/tidal volume ratio during anaesthesia/IPPV from simple pre-operative tests.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Classifying the severity of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) solely by means of the Glasgow Coma scale (GCS) is under scrutiny, because it overlooks other important clinical signs. Clinicians treating patients with acute TBI are well placed to suggest which variables, in addition to the GCS, should concur in a...
