Effects of High-frequency Oscillatory Ventilation on Systemic and Cerebral Hemodynamics and Tissue Oxygenation: An Experimental Study in Pigs

Background In this study, we compare the effects of high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) with those of lung-protective volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) on cerebral perfusion, tissue oxygenation, and cardiac function with and without acute intracranial hypertension (AICH).
