This was our view ten years ago, when Dr. Cold was asked by an international congress to make a speech with the title: Is hyperventilation mandatory during craniotomy? Panic triggered our intellectual […]

Cerebral vasospasm remains, however, a dark castle that is resistant to any attempts of having its doors cranked […]
