Abstract:

Objective   To explore the application value of intracranial  pressure(ICP)monitoring in patients with sever traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Methods   The relative data of 142 ICP monitoring patients  were compared to those of 146 non-ICP monitoring patients, especially on important complications and Glasgow outcome scale (GOS). Results   ICP was slightly,moderately and severely elevated in 43,69 and 30 cases in the monitoring group respectively. They received corresponding proper treatment. Complications such as electrolyte imbalance and renal damage in non-monitoring group were more than in monitoring group. GOS score was significantly higher in monitoring group than in non-monitoring group. Conclusion    The continuous ICP monitoring can demonstrate intracranial pressure change and help to guide the correct clinical nursing and treating, and so as to improve the clinical outcome.
