[Results of mass spectrometry studies of oxygen and carbon dioxide tension and blood flow in the brain tissue of neurosurgical patients].

The results of composite appraisal of the tissue tension of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and regional blood flow in the brain of 21 patients during the early period after neurosurgical operations are discussed. The dynamics of the efficacy indices of the cerebral circulation and gas exchange were studied during intensive therapy of postoperative pathological conditions. It was established that the use of some of the components of intensive therapy in severe intracranial pathological conditions is attended with changes in cerebral gas homeostasis.
