The correlation between blood leukocyte count and the level of consciousness in head injured patients
This study was performed to define the correlation between the level of consciousness based on Glasgow coma scale ( GCS), Glasgow outcome scale( GOS) and leukocyte count. Two hundred and thirty three patients ( female: 48, male: 185) ranged between 1-75 years old were studied. The results showed that there was a negative correlation between increasing leukocyte count and GCS ( n=233.r= .0.3, p...
متن کاملOut-of-hospital administration of mannitol to head-injured patients does not change systolic blood pressure.
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of out-of-hospital mannitol administration on systolic blood pressure (BP) in the head-injured multiple-trauma patient. METHODS This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving a university-based helicopter air medical service and level-1 trauma center hospital.

متن کاملSystems analysis applied to intracranial pressure waveforms and correlation with clinical status in head injured patients.
Intracranial pressure waveforms (ICPWF) in head injured patients vary with the nature and severity of injury. Clinical interpretation of ICPWF shape is not defined. Spectral analysis provides an objective method of measuring changes in waveform shape, but the indices most suitable for clinical use remain unknown. Spectral analysis has been applied to ICPWF recorded from 30 patients with head in...
متن کاملInitial intracranial pressure as a prognosticator in head-injured patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy
PURPOSE To examine the prognostic discrimination and prediction of initial intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) undergoing decompressive craniectomy (DC). RESULTS The relationship between the initial ICP value and prognosis was quantified, and higher values indicated worse patient outcomes. Univariate analysis showed that the initial ICP value was signific...
