[Difference between values of gas analysis of arteries and internal jugular vein in patients with cerebral infarction].
BACKGROUND
Cerebral infarction is more and more frequently present by massive participation and high percentage of mortality even in young population. It is notified as very hard, vitally endangered disease.


OBJECTIVE
To prove whether there is a difference in the gas analyses of the arterial and cerebral venous blood between the patients with the cerebral infarction of the left and right hemisphere and why it is significant for the treatment of those patients.


METHODS
Sixty-five (65) patients of both sexes who were diagnosed by CT as: cerebral infarction, cerebral multiinfarctions and cerebral haemorrhagic infarctions were investigated. Under the same conditions their radial artery and left and right internal jugular vein were tapped--on the fourth, eighth and tenth day of their disease. Gas analysis, calculation of oxygen content and statistical comparison of testing results were performed from the samples of arterial and venous blood.


RESULTS
By continuous monitoring of gas analysis parameters of arterial and cerebral venous blood from internal jugular vein, we can follow up the phases of disease, the velocity of changes of gas analysis parameters and adequacy of brain circulation and to correct therapy adequately for the purpose of preventing basic disease complications and to estimate the results of treatment.


CONCLUSIONS
There is a significant difference between the results of gas analysis of arteries and the internal jugular vein, in patients with infarctions of the left and right hemisphere of the brain.
