Abstract

Cebrovascular accidents and severe traumatic brain injury are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Approximately 90 % of patients with secondary brain insults after head injury require intensive care unit (ICU) admission [1]. The etiology of these insults can by systemic, e.g., hypoxemia, hypotension, anemia, acid-base disturbance, uncontrolled glucose levels, or cerebral, e.g., intracranial hypertension, cerebral edema, seizures, regional blood flow disturbance, free radical induced damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, metabolic and ionic derangement [2].
