Abstract
Objective
To study the clinical effect of standard large bone flap craniotomy combined with mild hypothermia for severe craniocerebral injury.
Methods
Fifty cases of severe craniocerebral injury patients were collected from April 2014 to January 2015 in our hospital, which were randomly divided into surgical group and combined treatment group.The patients in surgical group received standard large bone flap craniotomy for hematoma removal, and the patients in combined treatment group received standard large bone flap craniotomy plus mild hypothermia treatment.The intracranial pressure and prognosis before and after treatment in two groups were compared respectively.
Results
The mortality of combined group and surgical group were 20% and 32%, respectively, with lowermortality of combined group group.After treatment, the intracranial pressure was decreased in two group, with more significant decrease in thecombined group(t=8.98, P<0.05). The Bederson score [(1.48±0.34)points] and apoptosis cell number (59±12) ofcombined group were lower than that of the surgical group [(2.79±0.28)pints and 116±19](t=8.765, P<0.05).
Conclusion
For patients with severe craniocerebral injury, standard large bone flap craniotomy combined with mild hypothermia can rapidly reduce intracranial pressure, improve the prognosis and is worthy of popularization.
