    Introduction Splanchnic ischemia (SI) and increased gut permeability (GP) have been described in acute brain injury (ABI), although their incidence and relation to the type and severity of injury are uncertain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of both abnormalities in a series of patients with severe ABI secondary to intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) managed with a resuscitation protocol pursuing adequate cerebral and systemic hemodynamics.
