Popis: | Traumatic brain injury is caused by mechanical forces impacting the skull and its internal structures and constitutes one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. Clinically, severe traumatic brain injury is associated with the development of acute lung injury and so far, few studies have evaluated the cellular, molecular and immunological mechanisms involved in this pathophysiological process. Knowing and investigating these mechanisms allows us to correlate pulmonary injury as a predictor of cerebral hypoxia in traumatic brain injury and to use this finding in decision making during clinical practice. This review aims to provide evidence on the importance of the pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury-acute lung injury, and thus confirm its role as a predictor of cerebral hypoxia, helping to establish an appropriate therapeutic strategy to improve functional outcomes and reduce mortality. |
