Two Different Approaches in Obtaining Head Computerized Tomography Scan in Minor Head Injuries

Abstract: Background: The management of minor head injury (GCS score of 15) especially in the use of computed tomography (CT) scan is still controversial. As a big and developing country, Indonesia faced some problems in the management of minor head injuries. Those problems were limited number of CT scan, big number of minor head injured patients assessed in emergency unit and far distance between small cities and referral centers. This study was aimed to provide different approaches in obtaining CT scan in this group o… Show more

“…It indicates the significance of this risk factor for the outcome of head injury patients. 1,18,[30][31][32][33][34][35] Compression of the basal cistern is an indicator of increased ICP. Increased intracranial pressure will cause a decrease of blood flow to the brain, which in turn will cause damage to brain tissue.…”

“…It should be done to provide appropriate, accurate and systematic actions and therapies immediately to produce a good prognosis. 1,2 Further decisions regarding the management of severe TBI patients must involve the patient's family, so informed consent about patient outcomes requires adequate and accurate data. Predicting the outcome of severe TBI patients accurately is important for fund allocations, appropriate clinical decisions and realistic informed consent to the family.…”
