  • Title: Limitations of jugular bulb oxyhemoglobin saturation without intracranial pressure monitoring in subarachnoid hemorrhage.
    Author: Chieregato A, Targa L, Zatelli R.
    Journal: J Neurosurg Anesthesiol; 1996 Jan; 8(1):21-5. PubMed ID: 8719188.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of subarachnoid hemorrhage in which, even after having obtained a normal jugular bulb oxyhemoglobin saturation, cerebrovenous desaturation developed, and brain death occurred. The limitations of jugular bulb oxyhemoglobin saturation without intracranial pressure monitoring are discussed. We conclude that if increased intracranial pressure is suspected, use of jugular bulb oxyhemoglobin saturation monitoring alone would appear to be substantially limited.
