Abstract:
We report a case of ruptured cerebral aneurysm that had uneven bilateral cerebral arteriovenous oxygen differences and lactate oxygen indexes. Guidelines are offered for determining which side to choose for jugular bulb catheterization. We conclude that bilateral catheterization may be useful in patients with severe hemispheric damage.
