Early mobilization in victims of traumatic brain injury

ABCS health sci; 47 (), 2022
INTRODUCTION: Several studies have shown that early mobilization is safe and beneficial for patients admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs), especially for those with mechanical ventilation (MV). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the benefits of early mobilization physiotherapeutic techniques applied to pat...

The neuroprotective effects of Lutongkeli in traumatic brain injury rats by anti-apoptosis mechanism

Acta cir. bras; 37 (6), 2022
Purpose: To explore the neuroprotective effects of Lutongkeli (LTKL) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and detect the related mechanism. Methods: TBI model was established with LTKL administration (2 and 4 g/kg/d, p.o.). Motor function of rats was examined by Rotarod test. Nissl staining was used to show ...

Cerebrolysin alleviates early brain injury after traumatic brain injury by inhibiting neuroinflammation and apoptosis via TLR signaling pathway

Acta cir. bras; 37 (6), 2022
Purpose: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability. Cerebrolysin (CBL) has been reported to be anti-inflammatory by reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. However, the neuroprotection of CBL in TBI and the potential mechanism are unclear. We aimed to investigate th...

Anestesia para el paciente con traumatismo encéfalocraneano

Rev. chil. anest; 50 (1), 2021
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability for children and young adults. The Glasgow Coma Scale allows to classify TBI as mild, moderate and severe. Imaging studies show the heterogeneity of the diagnosis. Primary injury is caused by mechanical impact. Secondary injury con...

The protection effect and mechanism of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in rat brain with traumatic injury

Acta cir. bras; 33 (4), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on traumatic brain injury (TBI) outcome. Methods: The modified Marmarou's weight drop device was used to generate non-lethal moderate TBI rat model, and further developed in vitro astrocytes culturing system. Then, we anal...

Hemotransfusion and mechanical ventilation time are associated with intra-hospital mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury admitted to intensive care unit

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 74 (8), 2016
ABSTRACT Objective To identify the factors associated with the intra-hospital mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). Methods The sample included patients with TBI admitted to the ICU consecutively in a period of one year. It was defined as varia...
