- 10. AIIMS Trauma Workshop TRAUMA 2011 Classification of Head Injuries A. Blunt or Penetrating B. Mild, Moderate, Severe (Based on GCS) Mild 14-15 Moderate 9-13 Severe 3-8 C. Morphology (Fracture and Intracranial)
- 11. AIIMS Trauma Workshop TRAUMA 2011 Mild Head Injuries ■ GCS 14-15 ■ CT if LOC, Amnesia, Severe Headache, Anticoagulation ■ Evaluate C-Spine ■ Prognosis is excellent ■ Mortality rate < 1%
- 12. AIIMS Trauma Workshop TRAUMA 2011 Moderate Head Injuries ■ Patients may be confused, somnolent ■ GCS 9-13 ■ Admit observe ,repeat head CT with frequent neuro checks ■ Prognosis is good ■ Mortality rate < 5 %
- 13. AIIMS Trauma Workshop TRAUMA 2011 Severe Head Injuries ■ GCS < 8/15 ■ Mortality rate > 40% ■ Securing of A,B,C’s highest priority ■ Early Intubation ■ Hypotension associated with twice mortality ■ Maintain Pco2 25-35 mm/Hg
- 14. AIIMS Trauma Workshop TRAUMA 2011 Initial Neurosurgical Management ■ WHEN TO GET A CT-SCAN ? ■ Patient Comatose (GCS<13) ■ Penetrating Trauma ■ Suspect Skull # ■ CSF Leak ■ Post Trauma Seizures ■ Focal Neurological signs (Motor/Pupils) ■ WHEN TO CALL A NEUROSURGEON? ■ All of the above ■ Abnormal CT Scan
- 15. AIIMS Trauma Workshop TRAUMA 2011 Initial Neurosurgical Management Abnormal CT Scan
- 16. AIIMS Trauma Workshop TRAUMA 2011 Medical Management ■ Recognize and treat ↑ICP / Herniation Monitor : Decrease in Pulse+Ventilation+ ↑B.P. Decrease in level of Consciousness Dilated Pupil Decrease in motor power (Contralateral - Dilat pupil) ■ Cerebral Resuscitation ◻ Hyperventilation is the mainstay ◻ Hyperventilate with BMV till Intubation ◻ Intubate if (Orotracheal) if GCS<8 in more alert Rapid sequence Intubation [HV till Pco2 = 28-32 mmHg confirmed by ABG] ◻ Mannitol Infusion 0.25-1.0 gm/Kg IV over 15 min (Not in Hypotensives) ◻ Monitor Urine Output ◻ Spine Cleared – Elevate the Head to 30°
- 17. AIIMS Trauma Workshop TRAUMA 2011 Other Considerations ■ Seizure Focus/Post Traumatic Seizures (2-5%) SAH, Bleed (Intracerebral, sub or extradural) Witnessed seizure Load Phenytion ≈ 11-15mg/Kg IV slow with cardiac monitoring ■ C-Spine 5%-20% of patients with severe HI will have C-spine injury 5%-10% with one spine # will have another one too Therefore C-Spine motion restriction and log-rolling till full spine cleared ■ Control of Bleeding ■ Immobilize other extremity fractures
- 18. AIIMS Trauma Workshop TRAUMA 2011 Pitfalls ■ Never attribute neurological abnormality solely to the presence of alcohol / drugs. Alteration in consciousness is hallmark of head injury. ■ Assume spinal Injury till ruled out ■ No naso-gastric / naso-tracheal tube if base skull # suspected ■ Treat other life threatening bleeding first ■ Systolic pressure < 90 mmHg will lead to secondary brain Injury ■ Poor Ventilation and Oxygenation will Increase the ICP
- 19. AIIMS Trauma Workshop TRAUMA 2011 Summary ■ In a comatose patient, secure and maintain the airway by endotracheal intubation. ■ Treat shock aggressiv ■ Hypoxia and hypovolaemia kill more patients than brain injury. ■ Secondary brain injury makes primary brain injury worse ■ If sedation or paralysis makes assessment difficult, then treat the patient until the brain can be assesed.
