The effect of conservative vs. liberal oxygen therapy on 90-day in-hospital mortality in adults who have nonhypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy acute brain injuries and conditions and are receiving invasive mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) is uncertain. ⋯ Mega-ROX Brains will compare the effect of conservative vs. liberal oxygen therapy regimens on 90-day in-hospital mortality in adults in the ICU with acute brain injuries and conditions. The protocol and planned analyses are reported here to mitigate analysis bias.

In children, epidural hematomas (EDHs) constitute around 2% to 3% of all head traumas. The aim of this study is to compare the manifestation, prognostic factors, and outcome of surgically treated supratentorial with infratentorial EDHs in pediatric patients. ⋯ Infratentorial EDH has better clinical outcomes than supratentorial EDH in surgically treated pediatric patients. The most significant and consistent factor influencing the outcome in both groups was the Glasgow Coma Score on admission.

Observational StudyAssociation between pre-hospital National Early Warning Score and in-hospital mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury.
This study aimed to examine the association between the outcome of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and pre-hospital National Early Warning Score (NEWS), Injury Severity Score (ISS), and Revised Trauma Score (RTS). ⋯ Pre-hospital NEWS could contribute to improving prognosis by aiding in the rapid classification of patients with TBI in the field and their transportation to appropriate hospitals.
