Abstract
The use of induced hypertension in head injury patients is controversial. We present the case of a 19-year-old man admitted with severe head trauma after a road accident and describe the beneficial effects that increasing arterial blood pressure had on the cerebral perfusion pressure, cerebral blood flow and jugular bulb oxygen saturation in this patient.
