Outcome prediction in severe traumatic brain injury with transcranial Doppler ultrasonography.
To investigate the value of transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography in evaluating the outcome of severe traumatic brain injury and to correlate the TCD values with intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) monitoring. ⋯ TCD ultrasonography is valid in predicting the patient's outcome of 6 months and correlates significantly with ICP and CPP values when it is performed in the first 24 hours of severe traumatic brain injury.

To analyze the prognosis of 2284 cases with acute traumatic brain injury and discuss possible methods to improve the outcome of head injuries. ⋯ To prevent hypoxia, remove intracranial hematoma as soon as possible, use standard large traumatic craniotomy and apply mild hypothermia may be useful means for improving the outcome of severely head injured patients.

Diagnosis and treatment of spinal fractures combined with paraplegia and diaphragm injury.
To study the mechanism and treatment principle of spinal fractures combined with paraplegia and diaphragm injury. ⋯ Spinal fractures combined with paraplegia and diaphragm injury are one of the most severe traumas in departments of orthopaedics. Paraplegia can be found easily, but diaphragm injury is often neglected and missed. When a patient suffers from both of them, he is in danger of death. What measures should be taken to rescue the patient's life depends on the severity of the wounds.
