Abstract
Maintenance of a CPP above 70 mm Hg is a therapeutic option that may be associated with a substantial reduction in mortality and improvement in quality of survival and is likely to enhance perfusion to ischemic regions of the brain following severe TBI. No study has demonstrated that the incidence of intracranial hypertension, morbidity, or mortality is increased by the active maintenance of CPP above 70 mm Hg, even if this means normalizing the intravascular volume or inducing systemic hypertension.
