Abstract

Resuscitation with hypertonic saline/dextran (HSD) has been suggested to be efficacious in patients who have traumatic brain injury and are hypotensive. We undertook a cohort analysis of individual patient data from previous prospective randomized double-blinded trials to evaluate improvements in survival at 24 hours and discharge after initial treatment with HSD in patients who had traumatic brain injury (head region Abbreviated Injury Score > or = 4) and hypotension (systolic blood pressure < or = 90 mm Hg). All variables and end points were defined before initiation of data handling. Investigators were blind as to the treatment. Case report forms were received from six studies. Of these, 223 patients met the inclusion for traumatic brain injury. Comparisons between HSD and standard of care were made using stratified analysis and logistic regression to assess efficacy, confounding, and interaction. Potential confounding variables of pre-fluid treatment, Glasgow Coma Scale score (3-8 vs. 9-15), injury type, and systolic blood pressure can be considered a priori factors that were known before randomization. Effects of the various trials was also considered. Treatment with HSD resulted in a survival until discharge of 37.9% (39 ...Continue Reading
