Monitoring of Jugular Venous Oxygen Saturation in Comatose Patients with Subarachnoid Haemorrhage and Intracerebral Haematomas
To prevent secondary cerebral ischaemia in comatose patients it would be of great importance to assess cerebral blood flow. Recently monitoring of the jugular venous oxygen saturation (SJVO2) has been shown to co...
