Optimized hyperventilation preserves 2,3-diphosphoglycerate in severe traumatic brain injury A hiperventilação otimizada preserva o 2,3-difosfoglicerato no traumatismo craniencefálico grave

INTRODUCTION: The concentration of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG/Hct) increases as a physiological occurrence to pH increase and hyperventilation.
