Abstract:
:Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a prominent public health issue that has a significant negative impact on patients and their family members. It is the leading cause of mortality and disability among young (below 50 years old) individuals. Intracranial hypertension (ICH) remains the single most difficult therapeutic challenge for the management of severe TBI. Therapeutic hypothermia may reduce intracranial hypertension and improve patient outcomes; however, the use of hypothermia is controversial. It has been reported that therapeutic hypothermia elicits no therapeutic benefit for patients with TBI. The present study presents two patients with severe(s) TBI who were admitted to 101st Hospital of the People's Liberation Army Between June 2017 to October 2017. Multimodal brain monitoring measurements of intracranial pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and bispectral index (BIS) were used during assisted hypothermia for management of patients with sTBI. The duration, degree of hypothermia treatment and speed of re-warming were assessed.
