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.

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.
