BACKGROUND Determine the prognostic impact of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-defined diffuse axonal injury (DAI) after traumatic brain (TBI) on functional outcomes, quality life, and 3-year mortality. METHODS This retrospective single center cohort included adult trauma patients (age > 17 years) admitted from 2006 to 2012 with TBI. Inclusion criteria were positive head computed tomography MRI within 2 weeks admission. Exclusion penetrating TBI or prior neurologic condition. Separate...
Objective: To comprehensively describe the use of dexmedetomidine in a single institutional series adult ICU patients with severe TBI. This study describes dosage and infusion times, as well physiological parameters, neurological status daily narcotic requirements before, during after infusion.Methods: identified 85 TBI who received infusions Trauma at Vanderbilt University Medical Center between 2006–2010. Demographic, haemodynamic, sedative data were systematically obtained from medical...
Objective: To determine risk factors associated with tracheostomy placement after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and subsequent outcomes among those who did not receive a tracheostomy.Methods: This retrospective cohort study compared adult trauma patients TBI (n = 583) tracheostomy. A multivariable logistic regression model assessed the associations between age, sex, race, insurance status, admission GCS, AIS (Head, Face, Chest) placement. Ordinal models tracheostomy's influence on...
This investigation describes the relationship between TBI patient demographics, quality of life outcome, and functional status outcome among clinic attendees non-attendees. Of adult survivors with intracranial hemorrhage, 63 attended our 167 did not attend. All were telephone surveyed using Extended-Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOSE), Quality Life after Brain Injury (QOLIBRI) scale, a post-discharge therapy questionnaire. To determine risk factors for GOSE QOLIBRI outcomes, we created...
