ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinicial significance of continuous glucose monitoring(CGM)of patients with severe traumatic brain injury(sTBI). Methods By glucose monitoring method,80 patients with sTBI〔Glasgow coma score(GCS)3-8〕in Department of Critical Care Medicine of Qingyuan People's Hospital in Guangdong Province from January 2012 to December 2012 were divided into two groups:41 patients in CGM group and 39 in regular glucose monitoring(RGM)group. The continuous glucose monitoring system(CGMS)was applied to monitor glucose level in the CGM group,and the finger blood was taken by portable blood glucose meter in the RGM group. The two groups were treated with insulin on the basis of glucose level,respectively. The relationships between the condition of glycemic excursions and the acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ)score or prognosis and between the incidence of hypoglycemia and prognosis were seen in the two groups. Results The close linear correlations between APACHEⅡ score and glycemic excursion in two groups,i.e. mean amplitude of glycemic excursions(MAGE)and coefficient of variation of glucose(GluCV),were documented(both P<0.05). The MAGE of the especially severe patients(GCS 3-5)was obviously higher than that of severe ones(GCS 6-8),and with the increase of APACHEⅡ score,the MAGE of patients was gradually elevated,the difference being statistically significant(both P<0.05). The incidence of hypoglycemia(7.32%vs. 23.08%)and fatality rate of 30 days(12.20%vs. 30.77%)in CGM group were lower than those of RGM group(both P<0.05). The MAGE and fatality rate of 30 days were positively correlated in CGM group(r=0.597,P=0.007),and the GLuCV and fatality rate of 30 days were positively correlated in RGM group(r=0.622,P=0.019). Conclusion CGM is beneficial to timely observe condition of glycemic excursions in sTBI patients and avoid occurrence of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia,guiding the treatment of insulin and improving patients' prognosis.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To investigate the effect of median nerve electrical stimulation on the activity, speech and quality of life in patients after severe traumatic brain injury. Methods 60 patients with severe traumatic brain injury were divided into 2 groups: the control group (A) and the treated group (B). The patients in Group A were treated with the routine medicine and rehabilitation. Based on the routine therapy, the patients in Group B were treated with the right median nerve electrical stimulation. Their outcome, activity, speech and quality of life were assessed. Results The scores of Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), speech assessment, and the quality of life in Group B improved compared with that in Group A (P<0.05), the activity seemed to improve, but not significantly. Conclusion The right median nerve electrical stimulation is effective to promote the recovery of neurological function and improve the quality of life in patients with severe traumatic brain injury.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate clinical effect of mild hypothermia on patients with severe brain injury.Methods 40 patients with severe brain injury were randomly divided into hypothermic group(n=20) and control group(n=20).Their excellence rates cvere compared.Results The total excellence rate of treatment group was 80% and that of control group was 50%,the former was significantly higher than the latter.Conclusion Mild hypothermia can improve the outcome of patients with severe brain injury.
