increase in contusion volume, the median volume of contusion at the admission time ranged from 22 to 32 mL and the mean being 27 mL, we recommend prophylactic surgery in this subset of patients to prevent them from developing rapid deterioration in Glasgow coma scale (GCS)...
One could not find any consensual model concerning the different ways of going from coma to arousal. The variability of the technics and the changing validity of all scores did not allow the conditions of arousal to reach a satisfactory level of proof. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is the ...
In 17 patients with admission Glasgow Coma Scale scores of 8 or less, hemispheric CO2 vasoresponsivity ranged from 1.3 to 8.5% per mm Hg change in partial CO2 pressure. Lobar, cerebellar, basal ganglia, and brain stem CO2 vasoresponsivity frequently varied from the mean global value by more ...
acute brain injuryGlasgow Coma ScaletriageThe wide‐spread use of an initial 'Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) 8 or less' to define and dichotomise 'severe' from 'mild' or 'moderate' traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an out‐dated research heuristic that has become an epidemiological convenience ...
