====== Cerebral oxygenation ======


The ideal head height should be 45 degrees during and after [[endotracheal aspiration]] in regard to maintaining [[cerebral oxygenation]] in neurosurgery [[intensive care]] patients. It is extremely important to monitor the cerebral oxygenation status of patients, with non-invasive measurement tools during and after endotracheal aspiration, to prevent secondary complications.

This study reveals the importance of raising the head 45 degrees in the best preservation of cerebral oxygenation values in neurosurgery intensive care patients. Intensive care nurses should pay attention to maintaining this head height
