The use of HH in patients with brain injury and ARDS reduces instrumental dead space and allows to reduce tidal volume and driving pressure in isocapnic conditions, with no alveolar derecruitment, hypoxemia, changes in cerebral perfusion pressure nor blood flow. ./cache/cord-011363-o1f398vn.txt ./txt/cord-011363-o1f398vn.txt
