Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the alteration of serum electrolytes and arterial blood gases as a secondary insult in patients with severe closed traumatic brain injury and to estimate its impact on patients' outcome. Materials and Methods: 80 patients with severe closed traumatic brain injury were admitted to neurosurgical intensive care unit between November 2013 and November 2014. All patients were treated conservatively without surgical intervention. Data collected include…

Evaluation of Electrolyte Imbalance in Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury Admitted in the Central ICU of a Tertiary Care Centre: A Prospective Observational Study
Introduction Electrolyte imbalance is a salient finding in traumatic brain injury which can derail their clinical course of recovery in physical and cognitive health while prolonging the hospital…
Routine blood tests for severe traumatic brain injury: can they predict outcomes?
Characteristics and Health Outcomes of Patients with Road Traffic Injuries managed in Critical Care Unit at Kenyatta National Hospital: A One Year Retrospective Cohort Study
TLDR
Assessing characteristics and health outcomes of patients with road traffic injuries managed in the critical care unit at Kenyatta National Hospital in Kenya found that more resource allocation to county CCUs and enhanced evacuation can improve the outcomes of the patients.
Proinflammatory and amyloidogenic S100A9 induced by traumatic brain injury in mouse model
Critical Care Services and Health Outcomes among Road Traffic Accident Patients Managed at Kenyatta National Hospital Nairobi, Kenya
TLDR
It is suggested that within the context of a youth-services agency such as this, where children are involved in any kind of abuse, is a positive thing to do and should be promoted and encouraged.

Electrolyte derangements in traumatic brain injury
TLDR
Seventy five percent of the patients suffered from electrolyte disturbances of which hyponatremia was the commonest and the most dangerous which needs to be diagnosed and corrected at the earliest.
Prognostic value of arterial blood gas disturbances for in-hospital mortality in pediatric patients with severe traumatic brain injury
TLDR
In pediatric patients with severe head injuries, initial mixed metabolic acidosis plus respiratory acidosis and GCS are significant predictors of mortality, but other factors after adjustment for potential confounding factors had no prognostic effect.
The relation between the incidence of hypernatremia and mortality in patients with severe traumatic brain injury
TLDR
Mild hypernatremia is associated with an increased risk of death in patients with severe TBI, and in a proportion of the patients the association between hyper natremia and death is accounted for by the presence of central diabetes insipidus.
Initial severity of metabolic acidosis predicts the development of acute lung injury in severely traumatized patients
TLDR
In this group of severely injured trauma patients, the degree of metabolic acidosis at the time of admission identified those patients with the highest probability of developing acute lung injury, and the volume of crystalloid solution administered during the first 24 hrs was significantly greater in patients who later developed acute Lung injury.
Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone after severe head injury.
Cerebral acid-base homeostasis after severe traumatic brain injury.
TLDR
Brain tissue acidosis is associated with increased tissue PCO2 and lactate concentration; these pathobiochemical changes are more severe in patients who remain in a persistent vegetative state or die.
Acute symptomatic hyponatremia and cerebral salt wasting after head injury: an important clinical entity.
TLDR
The case of a 4.5-year-old boy presenting with major head injury who at day 6 after admission had generalized tonic-clonic seizures caused by severe acute hyponatremia, and highly increased levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) confirmed the diagnosis of CSW.
Hyponatremia in patients with traumatic brain injury: incidence, mechanism, and response to sodium supplementation or retention therapy with hydrocortisone.
Outcome after severe head injury. Relationship to mass lesions, diffuse injury, and ICP course in pediatric and adult patients.
TLDR
A consecutive series of 330 severely head-injured patients was studied prospectively, finding no significant difference in outcome in pediatric and adult patients with mass lesions or with increased ICP, regardless of whether or not the pressure was reducible.
High extracellular potassium and its correlates after severe head injury: relationship to high intracranial pressure.
TLDR
The simultaneous increase of potassium, together with dialysate glutamate and lactate, supports the hypothesis that glutamate induces ionic flux and consequently increases ICP due to astrocytic swelling.
