Abstract
Raised intracranial pressure (ICP) and diffuse damage of the cerebral microcirculation have been reported to play an important role in the secondary changes found in subjects with severe brain injury who survived a few hours (1,2). Any method capable of preventing the rise of ICP and cerebral hypoxia must then be beneficial.
