Filter by:The non-neurosurgical management of post-traumatic cerebral hemorrhagic lesions is currently poorly codified. It consists of neurological monitoring for 24 to 48 hours, and the performance of an almost systematic brain scan. Anti-aggregation and anticoagulation treatments are stopped for 14 to 28 days and should be resumed according to the risk-benefit ratio and the advice of the patient's treating physicians and cardiologists. If the bleeding lesions do not progress, the patients are allowed to return home. If the lesions progress, the patients remain hospitalized for further monitoring, a new brain scan and neurosurgical advice. This study seeks to show that the performance of systematic brain imaging in the absence of clinical deterioration of patients admitted to the UHCD for post-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage could be avoided, and thus to administer an unnecessary dose of irradiation to the patients, and would also have a significant financial stake. Several recent studies have shown that there is no need to perform a follow-up brain scan in the absence of neurological deterioration, even in anticoagulated patients or those on antiplatelet drugs. Despite the growing number of articles, no recommendation or consensus has been proposed.
Trauma is a critical global health problem. It represents the fifth leading cause of significant disability and is one of the most common causes of mortality in youth and adulthood, as one in 10 deaths worldwide occurred due to trauma. The head is preferred target for criminal acts and is a favorite place for various pathological lesions .Traumatic head injury (THI)is one of the prevalent causes of global death and disability. lately, head injury (HI) cases have increased in both developed and developing nations. Therefore, it is of great value to evaluate the clinical and pathological features of head injury . Every injury that results in harm to the scalp, skull or brain can be sort out as a HI which can be caused by traffic mishap, falls, sports and gunshot wounds. Vehicle accidents are one of the most prevalence causes of THI as they are deemed to be one of the main causes of fatality due to road-traffic accidents (RTA) .Among different type of the RTA, motorcycle accidents holds the number one cause of accident in most of the country . Skull fracture and hemorrhage are common association, which may be present with head trauma and affect the outcome of the case.The skull fractures, especially by blunt force offer varying diagnostic and medico- legal problems to the medical jurists as well as to the clinicians.
This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, comparative, double-blind controlled clinical study mend to assess the effect of enteral feeding with Oxepa (a fish oil-based nutrition), compared to an isocaloric control, on oxygenation and clinical outcomes in mechanically ventilated trauma patients. The study population will be adults admitted to the ICU due to multiple-trauma or head trauma as a result of a gun shut, motor vehicle accidents, fall, workplace accident etc.
