      Objective. To analyze in severe head injuries patients the prognostic value of issues related in the routine management in Critical Care wards. Material and methods. Retrospective and comparative study of 265 children with head severe head injuries (surviving children vs no surviving children) according to the cerebral perfusion pressure (IPP), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and other evaluations done in the intensive therapy care unit of the hospital. Results. In children with IPP < 20 and GCS > 8 the probability of death were significantly higher IPP (p = 0.04) and GCE (p = 0.03). Conclusions. The IPP and the GCS in severe head injuries children are good indicators of prognosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
    • Abstract:
      Objetivo. Analizar en niños con traumatismo craneoencefálico (TCE) severo el valor pronóstico de las mediciones con las que rutinariamente se les maneja en áreas de terapia intensiva (TI). Material y métodos. Estudio retrospectivo, comparativo (entre los que murieron y sobrevivieron) en 265 niños que ingresaron a TI por TCE a quienes se les hizo medición de la presión intracraneana (PIC), presión de perfusión cerebral (PPC), perfusión de O2 en el bulbo de la yugular (BY) y escala de coma de Glasgow (ECG). Resultados. En los niños que a su ingreso tuvieron mediciones de PIC < 20 y de ECG > 8, la probabilidad de morir fue mayor (PIC [p = 0.04]) (ECG [p = 0.03]). Conclusiones. La PIC y la ECG son, en los niños con TCE, las mediciones de mayor valor pronóstico en TCE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
