Abstract
Clinical and experimental data emphasize the importance of secondary injury mechanisms contributing to traumatic outcome [1–4,8]. Secondary injury mechanisms include a variety of systemic and intracranial processes including hypotension, hypoxia, ischemia, and hyperthermia, as well as intra cranial pressure. Secondary hypoxia caused by respiratory distress is a common consequence of head injury. It has been reported to occur in 45.6% of severely head-injured patients.
