    Abstract:
    The study group consisted of 17 patients after severe cranio-cerebral injuries-in GCS below 8. Saturation in both jugular bulbs was measured by using fiberoptic catheters, the concentration of lactate taken from jugular bulbs was measured too. These values were compared to concentration in peripheral arteries. All measurements were started within the first 24 h after trauma and lasted 5 days. Diagnosis of intracranial pathology was established by using CT, which was done directly after admission to the hospital. Interdependence between the state of patient in GOS and variability saturation and concentration of lactate was showed. Desaturation occurred before the neurological sings of intracranial hypertension what had influence on way of treatment and diagnostics. Bilateral measurement of the saturation is more useful to make diagnostic unilateral measurement.
