- More about Brain and Lung Crosstalk
The central nervous system has a high metabolic demand, and the physiology of the brain is easily affected by alterations in other systems, which can compromise cerebral blood flow and oxygenation. This book discusses the crosstalks between the acutely or chronically affected brain and lung, describing the pathophysiology of the lung following brain injury and discussing the conflicts between the brain and lungs in relation to tidal volumes, positive end-expiratory pressures, arterial carbon dioxide and oxygen levels, recruitment maneuvers and positioning, and potential therapeutic targets.

The central nervous system, encompassing the brain and spinal cord, demands a significant metabolic rate. The intricate physiology of the brain renders it susceptible to alterations in other systems, which in turn can compromise cerebral blood flow and oxygenation. Working in tandem, the brain and spinal cord oversee the automatic functioning of our body systems. While other systems regulate individual functions, the central nervous system simultaneously performs a multitude of tasks, particularly in controlling the operations of other systems.
This intricate interplay between the brain and other systems holds significant importance in understanding the consequences of brain injuries. Injuries to the brain can sometimes lead to complications in distant organs or systems of the body, such as the lungs. This book delves into the lesser-known crosstalks between acutely or chronically affected brains and lungs, providing a comprehensive exploration of the pathophysiology of the lung following brain injury. It also discusses in detail the conflicts that arise between the brain and lungs in relation to various parameters, including tidal volumes, positive end-expiratory pressures, arterial carbon dioxide and oxygen levels, recruitment maneuvers, positioning, and potential therapeutic targets.
By unraveling these complex interactions, this book aims to shed light on the intricate relationship between the brain and lungs and offer valuable insights into the management and treatment of patients with brain injuries who may also experience respiratory complications. It serves as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals, researchers, and individuals interested in understanding the complex dynamics between the brain and respiratory systems.
