“…The results of this experiment showed a significantly lower death rate and a lower NSE level of the experimental group after the treatment than the control group ( P < 0.05), indicating that the therapy can improve the patient's clinical indicators to reduce mortality. In addition, the present study also found that the GCS score after treatment was higher in the experimental group than in the control group ( P < 0.05), and the results of James E ( 31 ) et al stated that “the GCS score after treatment was (14.1 ± 0.73) in the treatment group, which was significantly higher than that of (8.9 ± 0.52) in the control group ( P < 0.05)”, which is generally consistent with the results of this study. It fully indicates that CRRT produced significant clinical effects in improving patients' conditions compared with conventional treatment.…”

ObjectiveTo explore the etiology and diagnosis and treatment strategy of traumatic brain injury complicated with hyponatremia.Methods90 patients with traumatic brain injury admitted to our hospital from December 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into hyponatremic group (50 patients) and non-hyponatremic group (40 patients) according to the patients' concomitant hyponatremia, and the clinical data of the two groups were collected and compared. In addition, patients in the hyponatremia group were divided into a control group and an experimental group of 25 patients each according to their order of admission, with the control group receiving conventional treatment and the experimental group using continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Hemodynamic indices, mortality and serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) indices before and after treatment were compared between the control and experimental groups. The Glasgow coma scale (GCS) was used to assess the degree of coma before and after the treatment in the two groups, and the patients' disease status was assessed using the Acute Physiological and Chronic Health Evaluation Scoring System (APACHE II).ResultsThe etiology of traumatic brain injury complicated with hyponatremia is related to the degree of brain injury, ventricular hemorrhage, cerebral edema, and skull base fracture (P < 0.05). After the treatment, the hemodynamic indexes, APACHE II scores, death rate, and NSE levels of the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.001); The experimental group yielded remarkably higher GAC scores as compared to the control group (P < 0.001).ConclusionThe degree of brain injury, ventricular hemorrhage, cerebral edema, and skull base fracture were considered to be the main factors for traumatic brain injury complicated with hyponatremia. Continuous renal replacement therapy can effectively improve the clinical indicators of the patients with a promising curative effect, which merits promotion and application.
