Evaluation of Factors That Cause Secondary Brain Damage on Mortality and Morbidity in Patients Undergoing Emergency Surgery Due to Head Trauma.

Traumatic brain injury is combination damage that occurs as a result of a chain reaction of various metabolic events that develop after primary damage caused by trauma. Pathological events such as lactic acidosis, electrolyte imbalance, increased inflammation that occur during traumatic brain injury leads to poor prognosis in patients.

The retrospective study was conducted to investigate the effect of factors that may cause secondary damage, especially electrolyte imbalance and blood glucose levels, on mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing emergency surgery due to head trauma.

Inclusion criteria

patients who admitted to Bursa Uludag University hospital between 2013 and 2018
patients diagnosed with traumatic brain injury and operated within the first 24 hours after admission

Exclusion criteria

pediatric patients
patients that operated after 24 hour of admission

factors evaluation

Other

They investigated mortality and morbidity in patients who underwent emergency operation within 24 hours after traumatic brain injury.

Primary outcomes

mortality and morbidity in patients who underwent emergency operation within 24 hours after traumatic brain injury

Time frame: 5 years

It seems that secondary damage caused by metabolic events like eletrolyte imbalance in patients with head trauma should always keep in mind. If they encounter these situations, they should treat the patient and do replacements immediately.
