Increased Carbon Dioxide Respiration Prevents the Effects of Acceleration/Deceleration Elicited Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Abstract—Acceleration/deceleration forces are a common component of various causes of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and result in strain and shear forces on brain tissue. A small quantifiable volume dubbed the compensatory
reserve volume (CRV) permits energy transmission to brain tissue during acceleration/deceleration events.
