The role of vagus nerve overactivity in the increased incidence of pneumonia following traumatic brain injury
Hall S, Kumaria A, Belli A
British Journal of Neurosurgery · 2014
Key finding
By extrapolating this evidence we suggest a possible mechanism for immunosuppression following TBI which also has the potential to be targeted to reduce the incidence of pneumonia.
