Glasgow Coma Scale Improvement after Lidocaine Infusion in Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury

Glasgow Coma Scale as a predictor for hemocoagulative disorders after blunt pediatric traumatic brain injury.

OBJECTIVE Coagulopathy is a complication of traumatic brain injury and its presence after injury has been identified as a risk factor for prognosis. It was our aim to determine whether neurologic findings reflected by Glasgow Coma Scale at initial resuscitation can predict hemocoagulative disorders resulting from traumatic brain injury that may aggravate clinical sequelae and outcome in childre...

Glasgow Coma Scale and quality of life after traumatic brain injury*

Objective: To evaluate the behavior of different scores on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) observed during the first 72 hours after trauma, before the perceived changes to quality of life and health status, and one year after the traumatic event. Methods: A study using a quantitative approach, observational, longitudinal, descriptive and correlational with victims of blunt head trauma (BHT) evalua...

Whole-brain apparent diffusion coefficient in traumatic brain injury: correlation with Glasgow Coma Scale score.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and low Glasgow coma scale (GCS) scores may have severe injury associated with cellular disruption that can be studied with whole-brain apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histograms. We retrospectively studied this hypothesis and correlated ADC with GCS. METHODS Twenty-one patients (37.81 +/- 41.3 years) with TBI were enrolle...
