admitted to ICU Neurosurgery after discharge of a hematoma, In the first 24 hours, the patient was stable
hemodynamically but after 24 hours the patient developed hypotension and the level of consciousness decreased to
3/15. Suddenly, arterial blood oxygen levels dropped from 99 percent to 66 percent. The patient had bradycardia
compared to baseline and hypotension, which improved after respiratory and ventilator adjustments and PEEP
