CARDIAC ELECTRICAL DYSFUNCTION IN ACUTE BRAIN LESIONS
This study briefly reviews the heart abnormalities in diverse intracranial pathologies, including strokes, spontaneous and traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracranial hemorrhage, and presents the results of a one-year prospective study of heart abnormalities in patients with moderate to severe head injuries and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Different abnormalities such as: QT -interval, T...
متن کاملEffect of cervical collars on intracranial pressure in patients with head neurotrauma
Trauma patients are at high risk of cervical and associated injuries. The standard protocol includes immobilization of the cervical spine in a polytrauma as it will help to prevent spinal injuries in the prehospital settings. Hard cervical collar (or alternatives) is routinely used until the cervical spine clearance is obtained . In patients with traumatic brain injury avoiding any kind of mane...
متن کاملEvaluation of hyperventilation in treatment of head injuries.
Reduction of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the arterial blood by mechanical hyperventilation (Pco(2) 25-30 mm Hg; Po(2) 100-150 mm Hg) may be beneficial in cases of severe head injury. To evaluate its efficacy and establish prognostic guidelines intracranial pressure, radiocirculograms, and cerebrospinal fluid (C.S.F.) lactate levels were studied in 31 patients. In survivors intracr...
متن کاملCritical care management of severe head injury in children.
BACKGROUND Our aim was to analyze prognostic factors and their association with outcome among children with severe head injury. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study among children (n=55) with severe head injury [Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) ?8] who were admitted to our Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) from January 1996 to September 2003. The patients were immediately evaluated with c...
متن کاملContinuous Monitoring of PbrO 2 in patients with severe head injury
Ischemia is one of the major factors causing secondary brain damage after severe head injury. We have investigated the value of continuous partial pressure of brain tissue oxygen (PbrO2) monitoring as a parameter for cerebral oxygenation in 22 patients with severe head injury (GCS ≤ 8). Jugular bulb oxygenation, intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure were simultaneously recorded....
