To find out the effect improving ICU monitoring and care on recovery of head injury patients

Completed

• Conditions: ASA GRADE 1 to 3

• Registration Number: CTRI/2018/05/014022
• Lead Sponsor: Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research

Brief Summary

In this prospective observational study 30 patients of severe head injury were monitored in ICU with advanced cerebral noninvasive monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) with TCD. We found that 21/30 patients had good outcome while 9/30 patients had bad outcome at 3 months. Patients having raised ICP and abnormal CPP had poor outcome. The noninvasive cerebral haemodynamic monitoring helped in prediction of outcome of these patients.
