Long-term complications of decompressive craniectomy for head injury.
Journal of Neurotrauma, 2011There is currently much interest in the use of decompressive craniectomy for intracranial hypertension. Though technically straightforward, the procedure is not without significant complications.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in patients younger than 40 years, affecting 1.7 million people every year in the USA. They are responsible for one-third of all injury-related deaths, whereas patients who survive may develop severe debilitating long-term sequelae.

BACKGROUND Skull radiography is widely used to screen for fractures in patients with mild head injury. However, the clear depiction of a fracture requires a gap in the skull separated by the fracture that is wide enough to allow the passage of x-rays. We

Heading and Head Injuries in Soccer
Sports Medicine, 2001In the world of sports, soccer is unique because of the purposeful use of the unprotected head for controlling and advancing the ball. This skill obviously places the player at risk of head injury and the game does carry some risk. Head injury can be a result of contact of the head with another head (or other body parts), ground, goal post, other ...

The woodpecker is an experiment in Nature, a model for the investigation of mechanisms of basic importance for head injury and its prevention. A preliminary anatomical study of the woodpecker's head suggests that it may be fruitful to explore impact protective systems which are radically different from those in common use.

Last summer, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) published Head Injury: Triage, assessment, investigation and early management of head injury in infants, children and adults. The recommendations on computed tomography (CT) in this guidance for minor head injuries are similar to the Canadian CT head rule published in 2001.

Disability caused by minor head injury.
Neurosurgery, 1981The authors studied 538 patients who had sustained minor head trauma, which was defined as a history of unconsciousness of 20 minutes or less, a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 13 to 15, and hospitalization not exceeding 48 hours. Of these patients, 424 were

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1979 tracranial pressure measurements, and more or less continuous electroencephalographic monitoring, the importance of the findings varies depending on the time of observation after the head injury. Even in this respect we have seen that knowledge of the severity and of the site of the trauma on the head has greatly facilitated both early prediction of ...

In summary, the broad term "head injury" represents a large variety of more specific injuries. In order to anticipate and plan appropriate patient care, nurses need information regarding the cause of injury, the impact site, and the patient's clinical course in addition to current assessment findings.
