Acid-base balance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was studied on acute stage of 40 patients who had suf-fered severe head injuries. The specimens were obtained on arterial blood simultaneously and com-pared with CSF value.

Increment of CSF pO2 was disturbed in severest cases, when arterial pO2 was elevated following ox-ygen administration. CSF pCO2 was mostly below normal, concomitant with arterial hypocapnia, and reflected central neurogenic or assisted vigorous ven-tilation. CSF HCO3- values were unexceptionally decreased, that was dissimilar in arterial ones. The finding of metabolic acidosis in CSF was most ap-parent in early stage, within a week after injury. Clinical status of brain dysfunction correlated with diminution of CSF HCO3-.

In a majority of these cases, CSF pH was varied in narrow range of 7. 25-7. 35. and it suggested that normal CSF pH was maintained when CSF pCO2 reduced. So called neurogenic hyperventilation might be in a part a homeostatic phenomenon to minimize CSF pH deviation. In this conditions, the difference of diffusibility through blood-CSF harrier between CO2 and HCO3- ion contributed to dissociated figure of CSF acid-base balance from arterial level.

In another cases, we determined lactate concentra-tion in CSF. Both lactate and HCO3- values should be a reliable indicator of injured brain metabolism. In a stage of favorable convalescense, CSF lactate was diminished, CSF HCO3- rised to or above normal level, and then respiratory function was corrected.
