EVALUATION OF THE RESULTS OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CRANIOCEREBRAL HYPOTHERMIA AS PART OF COMPLEX TREATMENT IN PATIENTS WITH SEVERE TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY

The study is based on the analysis of 387 medical records of inpatients with severe traumatic brain injury. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of CCH as part of the complex treatment of patients with brain compression by epidural hematoma after surgery, depending on the timing of its use from the moment of injury. The criterion for evaluating the results was the percentage of patient mortality in clinical groups. It has been proven that the effectiveness of CCH as part of complex treatment depends on the timing of its use from the moment of exposure to the traumatic factor. It was found that the use of CCH in the first 48 hours from the moment of injury reduces mortality, while its use after 48 hours after exposure to the traumatic factor does not affect the mortality rate in victims with severe TBI.
