Pre-hospital endotracheal intubation in severe traumatic brain injury: ventilation targets and mortality—a retrospective analysis of 308 patients | Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine | Full Text

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains one of the main causes of mortality and long-term disability worldwide. Maintaining physiology of brain tissue to the greatest extent possible through optimal management of blood pressure, airway, ventilation, and oxygenation, improves patient outcome. We studied the quality of prehospital care in severe TBI patients by analyzing adherence to recommendedContinue reading “Pre-hospital endotracheal intubation in severe traumatic brain injury: ventilation targets and mortality—a retrospective analysis of 308 patients | Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine | Full Text”

Predictors of post-intubation hypotension in trauma patients following prehospital emergency anaesthesia: a multi-centre observational study | Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine | Full Text

Post-intubation hypotension (PIH) after prehospital emergency anaesthesia (PHEA) is prevalent and associated with increased mortality in trauma patients. The objective of this study was to compare the differential determinants of PIH in adult trauma patients undergoing PHEA. This multi-centre retrospective observational study was performed across three Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) in the UK. ConsecutiveContinue reading “Predictors of post-intubation hypotension in trauma patients following prehospital emergency anaesthesia: a multi-centre observational study | Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine | Full Text”
