Patients with brain injuries.

Prognosis for patients with severe brain injuries.

Intraventricular pressure recording has been a standard procedure in the neurosurgical clinic, University Central Hospital, Helsinki, Finland, since 1964. Up to 31 December 1970, 250 recordings had been performed, 90 of these on brain-injured patients. Intraventricular pressure correlates well with survival or death of the patient but will not predict the quality of survival. However, other cri...

Remote memory in patients with acute brain injuries.

Remote memory was investigated in an unselected sample of 26 patients with either unilateral tumours in the temporal lobes or traumatic brain injuries. Six patients underwent excisions within the left temporal lobe, and nine patients were operated on within the right temporal lobe. In both groups, patients with excisions including and sparing the hippocampal formation were studied. Their perfor...

P32: Effect of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation Mode on Intracranial Pressure and Oxygenation in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injuries

This study aimed at compare influences of airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) and Synchronized Intermittent Mechanical Ventilation (SIMV) on intracranial pressure and oxygenation status in patients with traumatic brain injuries. A clinical trial was carried out in 40 patients with traumatic brain injuries in the intensive care unit in Kamyab neurosurgery Hospital, Mashhad, Iran. The pati...
