or just above normal by elective positive pressure ventilation techniques. Three patients showed evidence of progressive myocardial ischaemia on continuous electrocardiographic monitoring. Two of these patients died. Ventricular arrhythmias were uncommon but one of the patients with ischaemia developed ventricular tachycardia. Heart rate patterns were very abnormal but did not predict complicat...
متن کاملCardiac sequelae of acute head injury.
An intensive 72 hour study of the cardiovascular effects of severe diffuse brain injury was made in seven patients. No other major injury was present. Patients received optimal care very rapidly after injury and intracranial pressure, which was continuously monitored, was maintained at or just above normal by elective positive pressure ventilation techniques. Three patients showed evidence of p...

متن کامل13 Closed Head Injury
Closed head injury is the leading cause of death in young patients in industrialized countries. Patients who survive the initial injury are susceptible to sustaining secondary cerebral insults which are initiated by the release of endogenous neurotoxic inflammatory mediators. The presence of hypoxia and hypotension in the early resuscitative period represents the ‘‘key’’ parameter for induction...
متن کاملMinor head injury: pathophysiological or iatrogenic sequelae?
This study addresses the possibility that cognitive sequelae--albeit of a transient or minor character--can be associated with mild head injury. Twenty men (aged 16-30 years of age), whose post-traumatic amnesia did not exceed eight hours, were examined within 48 hours of their accident and again one month later. This unselected sample had no previous history of head injury. A control group of ...
