Profile of Airway Patency, Respiratory Rate, PaCO2, and PaO2 in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury Patients (GCS <9) In Emergency Room Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya
Abstract:Introduction: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is the most common neurotrauma with high morbidity and mortality. Many guidelines recommend the use of mechanical ventilation for severe TBI patients, but there are limited resources of procuring ventilator machine in hospitals especially in developing countries. Yet it is not comparable with the number of TBI patients. Objective: This study is purposed to provide the profile of ventilation and oxygenation (airway patency, RR, PaCO2, and PaO2) in severe TBI patients (… Show more
