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.

Application of inferior major bone flap craniotomy decompression in brain injury.
To summarize the application of inferior major bone flap craniotomy decompression in brain injury operation. ⋯ The inferior major bone flap craniotomy decompression can remove hematoma timely and completely, is better than general craniotomy decompression and has a positive effect on brain injuries especially when bone flap is small.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialChanges of evoked potentials and evaluation of mild hypothermia for treatment of severe brain injury.
To observe the changes of evoked potentials after severe brain injury and the effect of mild hypothermia on acute severe brain injury. ⋯ These results demonstrate that mild hypothermia treatment (32-34 degrees C) in the Group B has a significant neuroelectrophysiological effect on severe brain injury. Nevertheless, the effect of mild hypothermia in the Group A is not apparent and needs further studying.
