TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Desaturation episodes after severe head injury: influence on outcome JO - Acta neurochirurgica Supplement A1 - Robertson, C. SP - 98 EP - 101 VL - 59 IS - N2 - The relationship of jugular venous desaturation and neurological outcome was examined in 116 patients with severe head injury. Seventy-six episodes of jugular venous desaturation were prospectively identified in 46 (40%) of the patients. The etiology of the desaturations varied, including both systemic and cerebral causes. A poor neurological outcome was strongly associated with the occurrence of jugular venous desaturation.
