Article Synopsis
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) presents global health challenges, while penetrating brain injury (PBI) is under-researched, prompting a study comparing PBI and blunt TBI outcomes using data from the Trauma Quality Improvement Program.
- The study found that PBI patients had a significantly higher mortality rate (33.9% vs. 14.3%) and worse outcomes compared to matched blunt TBI patients, with many deaths linked to withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments occurring sooner in PBI cases.
- Findings suggest a need to reevaluate conventional TBI classifications based on Glasgow Coma Scale scores and to focus on understanding the unique factors contributing to PBI outcomes to enhance patient care and reduce mortality rates.
Endovascular Embolization of Traumatic Vessel Injury Using N-butyl Cyanoacrylate: A Case Series.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
April 2024
There is limited evidence of N-butyl cyanoacrylate (n-BCA) use in endovascular embolization of traumatic face and neck vessel injuries. We investigated the safety and effectiveness of n-BCA for this purpose. We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients presenting to a Level 1 trauma center between April 2021 and July 2022.

- This study investigates the potential of using electroencephalography (EEG) to create a real-time, noninvasive way to measure intracranial pressure (ICP) as opposed to traditional invasive methods.* -
- Researchers conducted experiments on a porcine model of intracranial hypertension, analyzing the relationship between ICP and the slope of the EEG power spectral density, quantified by the ϕ angle.* -
- Results show a strong correlation between the ϕ angle and ICP levels, suggesting that EEG ϕ angle could be a reliable indicator for monitoring ICP and cerebral perfusion in real time.*
Background And Objectives: To compare the outcomes of early vs no-neurosurgical intervention in civilians with penetrating brain injury (PBI).
Methods: We collected data from the National Trauma Data Bank for PBI between 2017 and 2019. A total of 10 607 cases were identified; 1276 cases met the following criteria: age 16-60 years, an intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS) of >2 days, a Glasgow Coma Scale of 3-12, and at least one reactive pupil on presentation.
