Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the feasibility and reliability of early decompressive craniectomy (EDC) in field hospitals under simulated emergency state.

Methods

A single center retrospective cohort study was conducted in 40 patients with severe and extremely severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) admitted to the Neurosurgery Department of the 960th Hospital of Chinese PLA from January 2016 to September 2019. They were divided into EDC group and decompressive craniectomy (DC) group according to the operation time. The operation time window, the amount of intraoperative blood transfusion, brain contusion and laceration progressed to form a hematoma within 24 h after injury, the time window of postoperative cerebral hernia and the stable time window of vital signs after safe evacuation were compared between the two groups.

Results

The operation time of EDC group was shorter than that of DC group, the amount of intraoperative blood transfusion was less than that of DC group, the incidence of progressive cerebral contusion and cerebral hernia within 24 h was less than that of DC group, and the time window of cerebral hernia was longer than that of DC group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the stability time of postoperative vital signs between the two groups (P>0.05).

Conclusion

EDC is an effective surgical method for sTBI in field medical station under emergency state.
