BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Head CT is frequently ordered for trauma patients who are receiving anticoagulation. However, whether patients with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 15 and normal findings on neurologic examination require CT is still debated. The purpose of our study was to assess the use of cranial CT in patients receiving anticoagulants after head trauma and to establish clinical cr...
The aim was to describe epidemiological and medical aspects of 449 cases of traumatic brain injury (TBI) from a well-defined geographical area with a population of 137,000 inhabitants. An episode of disturbed consciousness was a prerequisite for inclusion in the study. The incidence of TBI was 354/100,000 inhabitants. Median age was 23 years, range 0-91 years; 55% were men and 45% were women; 3...
This case report demonstrates an excellent outcome in a child with acute necrotizing encephalitis that was likely associated the post-infectious SARS-CoV-2. The aim of this is to emphasize early diagnosis and initiation immunotherapy treatment may yield good outcome, particularly use tocilizumab high-dose methylprednisolone. Post immunotherapy, significant neurological improvement seen through ...
BACKGROUND Cerebral oedema is associated with significant neurological damage in patients with traumatic brain injury. Bradykinin is an inflammatory mediator that may contribute to cerebral oedema by increasing the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. We evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the non-peptide bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist Anatibant in the treatment of patients with tr...
Assessment of level of consciousness using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is a tool requiring knowledge that is important in detecting early deterioration in a patient's level of consciousness. Critical thinking used with the skill and knowledge in assessing the GCS is the foundation of all nursing practice. This study aims to explore the knowledge and competence in assessing the GCS among staff ...
Context Based on Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), head injury can be classified as minor (GCS 13-15), moderate (GCS 9-12), and severe (GCS 3-8). There is a lot of controversy in the use of computed tomography (CT) in head injury patients. Aims This study was intended to estimate the rate of CT positivity in head injury patients and to define the criteria for doing CT in head injury patients. Setti...
Objective Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs commonly in children. Repeat computed tomography (CT) follow up of TBI patients is often scheduled to identify progressive hemorrhagic injury (PHI). However, the utility of repeated CT scans, especially in children with mild TBI [Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores of 13-15], has been debated. The purposes of the present study were to identify clinical ...
OBJECTIVE To assess the theoretical and practical knowledge of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) by trained Air-rescue physicians in Switzerland. METHODS Prospective anonymous observational study with a specially designed questionnaire. General knowledge of the GCS and its use in a clinical case were assessed. RESULTS From 130 questionnaires send out, 103 were returned (response rate of 79.2%) a...
OBJECTIVES The classification of patients with "minor head injury" has relied largely upon the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). The GCS however is an insensitive way of defining this heterogeneous subgroup of patients. The aim of the study was to develop an extended GCS 15 category by meta-analysis of previously published case-control studies that have identified symptom risk factors for an abnormal h...
BACKGROUND Agonist maintenance therapy with methadone is amongst the preferred remedies for treating opioid dependence and is increasingly supported by the regional governments in this part of the world. In this study we have investigated the clinical manifestations and factors affecting the outcome of therapy in patients with methadone poisoning in a Middle-Eastern (Iranian) referral tertiary ...
