Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the effects of early hyperbaric oxygen treatment on patients with severe craniocerebral injury on the postoperative neurological function.

Methods

A total of seventy eight patients with severe traumatic brain injury in recovery period after surgical operation were selected for this study.According to the intervention time of hyperbaric oxygenation,they were randomly divided into early group(HBOT within 3 days after operation,n=38)and control group(HBOT without 7 days after operation,n=40).Dynamic head CT scan was performed for detecting and determine the duration of brain edema. Patients’ consciousness were assessed in 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks after the operation by GCS (Glasgow Coma Scale) and the neurological function were performed l, 2, 3 months after the operation by NIHSS (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale).

Results

Compared with the control group (12.65±4.42) d, the duration of brain edema in early group (10.39 ±4.05) d was significantly reduced(P<0.05). The GCS scores were (7.68±1.49), (9.38±1.51), (10.28±1.55), (11.13±1.68) after operation 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks in control group, respectively; and the early group were (8.63±1.28), (10.08±1.26), (11.03±1.31), (12.13±1.32), respectively. Compared with the control group, the GCS score in early group was significantly increased (P<0.05). The NIHSS scores were(13.55±2.54), (9.05±2.46), (6.43±2.19) after operation 1, 2, 3 months in control group, respectively;and the early group were (12.05±2.09), (7.90±2.14), (5.24±1.98). Compared with the control group,the neurological defections were significantly reduced in early group (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Early hyperbaric oxygen treatment on severe traumatic brain injury patients after surgery can shorten the duration of brain edema significantly, improve the state of consciousness and reduce the neurological function impairment.
