Patient after Severe Head Injury
Background: The pharmacodynamic differences in time to onset and dissipation of effect of sufentanil, fentanyl, and alfentanil probably result from different rates of blood-brain equilibration. The authors investigated this hypothesis in humans. Methods: After simultaneous central venous bolus application of sufentanil (10 pg), fentanyl (100 pg), and alfentanil (1,000 pg), arterial and jugular ...
متن کاملHyperamylasemia and Hyperlipasemia after Cerebral Perfusion Pressure Guided Management in Severe Head Injury: A Case Report
Augmented cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) of at least 70 mmHg has become a popular treatment for patients with severe head injury. We report a case of a 33-year-old man who suffered from traumatic intracranial hematomas which were successfully evacuated by surgical procedures. Postoperatively the patient received CPP-guided treatment and was sedated with propofoland medicated with vascular vo...

Over the past three years 15 children have been admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) at Addenbrooke's hospital suspected of having non-accidental injuries; presentation was diverse and often mild and out of proportion to the degree of morbidity seen at discharge and follow up. When compared with a group of similar aged children admitted to the PICU with severe head injury cause...
متن کاملCerebral endothelial damage after severe head injury.
We demonstrate that in head injuries the degree of cerebral endothelial activation or injury depends on the type of brain injury and the patients age, and that in severe head injuries measuring the serum levels of thrombomodulin (TM) and von Willebrand factor (vWF) is useful in evaluating cerebral endothelial injury and activation. The values of vWF in the cases of focal brain injury were signi...
