Oromaxillofacial fracture is often accompanied by head injury due to its adjacent location and structure. Risk estimation for clinically relevant intracranial lesions after minor head injury remains a major diagnostic challenge. One possible method to evaluate the possibility of intracranial lesion is by using biomarkers (biochemical marker) protein S-100. Protein S-100 is a neuron-specific pro…
An understanding of head injury mechanism has a major role in predicting the anatomical injury. Frontal depressed fracture occurs if a substantial force is applied to the head. In this case, the flexion and extension axis. Overflexion and over-extension movement was reported to have correlation with cervical injury. This study was to find out the correlation cervical injury and frontal depresse…
This study aimed to identify the changes of plasma potassium level after inintubation with rapid sequenceintubation method in severe head injury ptients using sucinylcholine as muscle relaxant. Subjects are severe head injury patients with glasgow coma scale (GCS)≤8. Plasma potassium level was measured twice, before intubation and (minutes 5,15,20) after intubation. Another variable that also…
