Patient Selection and Protocols in Traumatic Brain Injury Study

This chapter examines the criteria for selecting patients in a study focused on non-reactive pupils and the role of the Glasgow Coma Scale in determining eligibility. It explores the comparison between ICP monitoring alone and combined ICP and brain tissue oxygenation monitoring, alongside detailed discussions of treatment protocols and the primary outcomes observed six months post-intervention. The analysis highlights the long-term recovery of patients and the challenges of measuring outcomes, with a particular emphasis on the implications of findings regarding critical events in the intervention group.
