Abstract
Following head injury, hypoxemia is commonly observed and pulmonary edema sometimes occurs unpredictably. Whether this association is dependent on raised intracranial pressure (ICP) is not known, but there has been some experimental and clinical support for the hypothesis that there are neurally mediated effects on the lungs, which could cause an increase in venous admixture or in extravasation of fluid.
