Ventilación mecánica en el paciente con lesión cerebral aguda

In about20% of patients admitted to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) the indica-tion of mechanical ventilation (MV) is a neurological disease. These patients have a prolonged MV stay and high mortality. The appropriate use of MV in patients with acute brain injury (ABI) is critica! considering that MV b...
