摘要

Objective: To determine the patterns of hyperventilation and its effect on the outcome of adult intensive care patients with traumatic brain injuryMethods: A retrospective observational study was conducted in an adult intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary care University Hospital in Trinidad. Demographic data including age, sex, ethnicity and substance abuse were noted. Etiology, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score on admission and discharge, length of stay, patterns and duration of hyperventilation and PaCO2 were recorded. Outcome of patients with a mean PaCO2 < 30 mmHg was compared with those with a mean PaCO2 ≥30 mmHg.Results: Of the 197 patients studied, 164 (83.2%) were male. The mean age was 41.3, mean length of stay was 10.4 days and mean GCS on admission was 6.3. Deliberate hyperventilation for 48 hours was planned in 35 % of patients. Factors such as age, length of stay, admission GCS, mean ICP, mean PaO2 and mean PaCO2 did not affect patient outcome. Mean PaCO2 and admission GCS were not good predictors of patient outcome. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that patients having PaCO2 > 30 mmHg had a higher survival at 30 days, but this was not statistically significant (p= 0.06).Conclusion: There was no improvement in the outcome of brain injury patients by deliberate hyperventilation to achieve lower levels of PaCO2. Introduction Head injury is associated with tremendous morbidity and mortality. The CRASH Trial which included data from 46 countries showed that head-injury is one of the leading causes of death and there was a significant difference in the outcome of head injury between the high income and low-middle income countries (1). In the UK, 1% of all deaths were attributed to head injury and up to 85% of all severely head injured patients have remained disabled after 1 year (2). In Trinidad & Tobago, 1% of admissions to Government hospitals and 2 out of 1000 deaths were due to head injuries (3). Trauma accounts for the majority of head injured patients admitted to tertiary care institutes and when severe, requires mechanical ventilation in an ICU environment. The overall mortality in severe traumatic brain injury, defined as a post resuscitation Glasgow Coma Scale score of ? 8, is 23 % (4). Traumatic brain injury has a devastating financial, emotional, and social impact on survivors left with lifelong disability as well as their families (5). Primary injury to the brain is irreversible; thus management of the head injured patient involves minimizing secondary brain injury. Hyperventilation has been a controversial, but fundamental principle in the management of these patients. Hyperventilation has been employed in the head injured patient due to the physiological mechanism of promoting cerebral vasoconstriction and thus reducing cerebral blood volume in an attempt to decrease intracranial pressure (6). However in recent times, studies have shown that prophylactic hyperventilation may do more harm than good. Some studies have shown that hyperventilation in the first 24 hours following head injury may cause reduction in cerebral blood flow at a time when flow is already decreased, compounding cerebral ischemia (7). While there is evidence to support the reduction in cerebral blood flow and increased areas of ischemic brain following hyperventilation, few studies report the effect of hyperventilation on clinical outcome. Although hyperventilation has remained a component of the management of the head injured patient for decades, it is now recommended to reserve its use for the patient with signs of impending brain herniation and to not employ hyperventilation routinely (8). Hyperventilation is still practiced routinely in the management of the head injured patient in Trinidad and Tobago. To our knowledge, there has been no published paper from the Caribbean evaluating the effect of hyperventilation on clinical outcome of head injury patients. With this background, this study was conducted to determine the effect o
