Energy Metabolism in Brain Injury

  • Conference paper
Brain Failure

Part of the book series: Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((UICM,volume 9))

Abstract

Brain failure is associated with extensive physiological changes, involving circulation, respiration, metabolism, endocrine and immunological systems. These changes have been well studied in patients with non cranial trauma and less extensively in patients with head trauma. In the latter, these responses can be so severe as to threaten the outcome. Most of the studies on energy metabolism in patients suffering from acute brain failure have been carried out in head-injured patients; very few have been published concerning other kinds of brain failure. In this paper, some of the basic information regarding the changes in energy metabolism in patients suffering from head injury will be reviewed.
