Methods: Patients were prospectively included in this study if they met the following criteria: isolated head injury, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score < or =8 on first and fifth day, with cerebral contusion on CT scan. On the fifth day, randomization was done in two groups: early tracheostomy group (T group, n = 31) and prolonged endotracheal intubation group (I group, n = 31).
