Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Intracranial pressure response during secretion aspiration after administration of a muscle relaxant].
Aspiration of secretions is a usual nursing technique in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation that may be the cause of increased Intracranial Pressure (ICP). ⋯ According to the data obtained in the study, a lower increase of ICP was observed during secretion aspiration in those cases in which muscle relaxant was administered prior to the aspiration.
