Background: Long-term outcomes of patients with severe acute brain injury (SABI) and their surrogate decision makers (SDMs) are insufficiently explored.
Methods: We conducted a prospective, single-center, observational study of patients with SABI who required mechanical ventilation between September and November 2021. Two telephonic interviews were conducted at 6-12 months and 18-24 months post SABI.
Article Synopsis
- The study looks into complications that happen outside the brain in patients who have suffered traumatic brain injury (TBI), which can affect how well they recover.
- Researchers examined data from a trial to find out what specific patient factors lead to these complications, especially in poorer countries.
- The results showed that many patients faced serious problems like infections and breathing issues, and certain treatments like monitoring brain pressure were linked to these complications.
