Impact of Ventilator-associated Pneumonia on Cerebrospinal Fluid Inflammation During Immunosuppression After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Pilot Study

Conclusions: VAP increased intracranial inflammatory responses in patients with SAH despite the occurrence of systemic immunosuppression. A better understanding of cell trafficking and their pleiotropic functions in brain injury is needed to define the optimal strategies for preventing infections in patients with SAH.
