The most appropriate respiratory goal for a male client who is suspected of increased intracranial pressure (IIP) is C.) Promote carbon dioxide elimination. By eliminating carbon dioxide and increasing of oxygen, it lowers the risk of more damage to the brain, especially to the man. He may be advised to stop doing strenuous activities so he will not be catching his breath. He might also be given a rest so that he will not stress too much.
A good diet will also be beneficial so that healthy blood flow will be reinforced. A well-oxygenated brain promotes healing naturally. But for some instance, an operation will be needed to eliminate the carbon dioxide from the brain.
The goal of treatment is to prevent acidemia by eliminating carbon dioxide. That is because an acid environment in the brain causes cerebral vessels to dilate and therefore increases ICP. Preventing respiratory alkalosis and lowering arterial pH may bring about acidosis, an undesirable condition in this case. It isnt necessary to maintain a PaO2 as high as 80 mm Hg; 60 mm Hg will adequately oxygenate most clients.
