TBI - Epidemiology 60,000 ANNUAL TOTAL TBI DEATHS* 44,000 OCCUR AT SCENE OR IN E.R. 16,000 OCCUR AFTERWARDS Challenge is to reduce mortality and improve outcome. *lower limit estimate Sosin et al. JAMA 1995, 273:1778-1780
Slide 4-

Secondary Injury In the past two decades, medical research has demonstrated that all brain damage does not occur at the moment of impact, but evolves over the ensuing hours and days. This is referred to as secondary injury. The injured brain is extremely vulnerable to hypotension, hypoxia, and increased intracranial pressure which are causes of secondary injury.

Slide 20-

Guidelines for the Management of Severe Traumatic Brain Injury “The Spirit is Willing but the Data is Weak” State only what the literature supports First step toward standardizing head injury management Mandate for Class I studies
Slide 21-

Trauma Systems Guideline All regions in the United States should have an organized trauma care system
Slide 22-

1643 trauma patients treated at seven trauma centers with differing annual volumes of trauma patients. Patients taken to a low volume trauma center had a 30% greater chance of dying. J. Trauma 30: 1066-1076, 1990
Slide 23-

Resuscitation of Blood Pressure & Oxygenation Guideline Hypotension (SBP < 90 mm Hg) or hypoxia (apnea of cyanosis in the field or a PaO2 < 60 mm Hg) must be scrupulously avoided, if possible, or corrected immediately. Option The mean arterial pressure should be maintained above 90 mm Hg throughout the patient’s course.
Slide 24-

Prospective prehospital and E.R. study of 717 severe head injury patients in the Traumatic Coma Data Bank. Hypotension (SBP < 90 mm Hg) occurred in 35% of patients and was associated with a two fold increase in mortality. J. Trauma 34:216-222, 1993
Slide 25-

Initial Management Option The first priority for the head injured patient is complete and rapid physiologic resuscitation. No specific treatment should be directed at intracranial hypertension in the absence of signs of transtentorial herniation or progressive neurologic deterioration not attributable to extracranial explanations.
Slide 26-

CBF measured in 35 severely head injured patients with Xe-CT at, on average, 3 hours after injury. Global or regional ischemia (CBF < 18 ml/100 gm/min) observed in 31% patients. Global ischemia was measured in 57% of patients with diffuse swelling. J. Neurosurg 77: 360-368, 1992
Slide 27-

Indications for ICP Monitoring Guideline ICP monitoring is appropriate in severe head injury patients with an abnormal CT, or a normal CT scan if 2 or more of the following are noted on admission: SBP < 90 mm Hg Age > 40 years Uni-/Bilateral motor posturing
Slide 28-

207 severely head injured patients who had ICP monitoring and head CT scans Patients with a normal head CT had a 13% chance of ICP > 20 mm Hg Risk of intracranial hypertension (with normal CT) increased to 60% if two or more of the following were noted: 1) Age over 40 years 2) SBP < 90 mm Hg 3) motor posturing J. Neurosurg 56: 650-659, 1982
Slide 29-

ICP Monitoring Technology Recommendation In the current state of technology, the ventricular catheter connected to an external strain gauge is the most accurate, low cost, and reliable method of monitoring ICP. It also allows therapeutic CSF drainage. ICP transduction via fiberoptic or strain gauge devices placed in ventricular catheters provide similar benefits but at a higher cost.
Slide 30-

CT Scan
Slide 31-

ICP Treatment Threshold Guideline ICP treatment should be initiated at an upper threshold of 20 - 25 mm Hg.
Slide 32-

The ICP threshold that was most predictive of 6 month outcome was analyzed in 428 severely head injured patients. The proportion of hourly ICP reading greater than 20 mm Hg was a significant independent determinant of outcome. J. Neurosurg 75:S59-S66, 1991
Slide 33-

Cerebral Perfusion Pressure Option Cerebral Perfusion Pressure should be maintained at a minimum of 70 mm Hg.
Slide 34-

158 patients with GCS < 7 managed according to a CPP protocol: Maintain euvolemia (CVP 8-10 mm Hg) Ventriculostomy CSF drainage at 15 mm Hg Systemic vasopressors to maintain CPP at least 70 mm Hg Hyperventilation, barbiturates, hypothermia not used. Mortality 29% and 2% vegetative for entire group. Favorable outcome in GCS 3 of 35% ranging up to 75% for GCS 7. J. Neurosurg 83: 949-962, 1992
Slide 35-

Hyperventilation Standard In the absence of increased intracranial pressure (ICP), chronic prolonged hyperventilation therapy (PaCO2 of 25 mm Hg or less) should be avoided after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Guideline The use of prophylactic hyperventilation (PaCO2 < 35 mm Hg) therapy during the first 24 hours after severe TBI should be avoided because it can compromise cerebral perfusion during a time when cerebral blood flow (CBF) is reduced. Option Hyperventilation therapy may be necessary for brief periods when there is acute neurologic deterioration, or for longer periods if there is intracranial hypertension refractory to sedation, paralysis, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage, and osmotic diuretics.
Slide 36-

J. Neurosurg 75:731-739, 1991 A randomized prospective clinical trial in 113 patients to study the effect of hyperventilation (PaCo2 25 mm Hg) compared to normal ventilation (PaCo2 35 mm Hg) in patients with similar severe head injury. Significantly fewer patients made a good recovery at 3 and 6 months post injury who had a GCS 6 or 7 on admission. “PROPHYLACTIC USE OF SUSTAINED HYPERVENTILATION FOR A PERIOD OF 5 DAYS RETARDS RECOVERY FROM SEVERE HEAD INJURY.”
Slide 37-

Mannitol Guideline Mannitol is effective for control of raised ICP after severe head injury. Option Effective doses range from 0.25 - 1.0 gm/kg body weight.
Slide 38-

Mannitol Option The indications for the use of mannitol prior to ICP monitoring are signs of transtentorial herniation or progressive neurological deterioration not attributable to systemic pathology. However, hypovolemia should be avoided by fluid replacement.
Slide 39-

Barbiturates Guideline High-dose barbiturate therapy may be considered in hemodynamically stable salvagable severe head injury patients with intracranial hypertension refractory to maximal medical and surgical ICP lowering therapy.
Slide 40-

A prospective trial of 73 patients with severe head injury and medically refractory intracranial hypertension, randomized to receive either a regimen including high-dose pentobarbital or similar regiment without pentobarbital. Refractory intracranial hypertension occurred in only 12% of the original severe head injury group (925 Patients). The chance of survival for those patients whose ICP decreased(ICP < 20 mm Hg) with barbiturate treatment was 92% compared to 17% when it did not. J. Neurosurg 69:15-23, 1988
Slide 41-

Steroids Standard The use of steroids is not recommended for improving outcome or reducing intracranial pressure in patients with severe head injury.
Slide 42-

Prospective randomized trial in 300 patients receiving dexamethasone (total IV dose within 51 hours of injury = 2.3 grams IV) versus placebo. No difference in outcome examined serially within one year after treatment. Zentralbl Neurochir 55:135-143, 1994
Slide 43-

Antiseizure Prophylaxis Standard Prophylactic use of phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital or valproate is not recommended for preventing late post-traumatic seizures.
Slide 44-

404 post traumatic head injury patients (GCS 3-10 and abnormal head CT) randomized to treatment with phenytoin or placebo for one year with a two year follow up. In the first week after injury 4% of the patients receiving phenytoin had seizures compared to 14% taking placebo. After the first week there was no significant difference between the rate of seizures in the two groups. N. Engl. J. Med 323:497-502, 1990
Slide 45-

Nutrition Guideline Replacement of 140% of Resting Metabolic Expenditure in non-paralyzed patients and 100% Resting Metabolic Expenditure in paralyzed patients using enteral or parenteral formulas containing at least 15% of calories as protein by the seventh day after injury.
Slide 46-

Prospective trial in 38 patients randomly assigned to receive total parenteral nutrition (TPN) or standard enteral nutrition (SEN). The TPN group got full nutritional support by 7 days whereas the SEN group did not. There were significantly more deaths in the group that did not receive full caloric replacement by the 7th day after injury. J. Neurosurg 58:907-912, 1983
Slide 47-

ICP Treatment Algorithm Option An algorithm, developed by consensus, is presented. It should be viewed as “expert opinion” and used as a framework which may be useful in guiding an approach to treating intracranial hypertension.
Slide 48-

Critical Pathway for Treatment of Intracranial Hypertension in the Severe Head Injury Patient (Treatment Option) *Threshold of 20-25 mmHg may be used. Other values may be substituted in individual conditions. May Repeat Mannitol if Serum Osmolarity < 320 mOsm/L & Pt euvolemic High Dose Barbiturate therapy Hyperventilation to PaCO2 < 30 mmHg Monitoring SjO2, AVDO2, and/orCBF Recommended Other Second Tier Therapies NO YES NO YES NO YES NO Carefully Withdraw ICP Treatment Consider Repeating CT Scan YES Second Tier Therapy Intracranial Hypertension? Hyperventilation to PaCO2 30 - 35 mmHg Intracranial Hypertension? Mannitol (0.25 - 1.0 g/kg IV) Intracranial Hypertension?
