[Analysis and handling of the jugular catheter in the determination of cerebral anoxia].
The increase in the incidence of Craneoencephalic Trauma takes us to the search of new techniques such as the calculus of the Fraction of Oxygen Brain Extraction, determined by the channelling of the jugular bulb and later extraction of cerebral venous gasometries simultaneously to peripheric arterial gasometries. The aim of our work is to let Nursing know its handling as well as the diagnostic and therapeutical advantages and their associated complications. We conclude that this technique shows important advantages in the handling of endocraneal hypertension without being a work overload for Nursing. We suggest a performing guide to avoid the most common complications during its maintainance.
