The Effect of Controlled Decompression for Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: A Randomized, Controlled Trial

Frontiers in Neurology

Abstract

Background: Experimental evidence has indicated the benefits of intraoperative controlled decompression for the treatment of severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). Intraoperative rapid decompression (conventional decompression) for the treatment of sTBI may result in intra- and post-operative complications. Controlled decompression may reduce these complications. Previous clinical trials in China have not yielded conclusive results regarding controlled decompression for sTBI. Therefore, we explored whether controlled decompression treatment decreases the rates of complications and improves the outcomes of patients with sTBI. Methods: We performed this randomized, controlled trial at our hospital. Patients with sTBI aged 18-75 years old were randomly (1:1) divided into controlled decompression surgery (n = 124) or rapid decompression surgery groups (n = 124). The primary outcome measures were the Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS-E) score at 6 months and 30-days all-cause mortality. The secondary outcomes were the incidences of intraoperative brain swelling, post-traumatic cerebral infarction, and delayed hematoma. Results: Compared with the rapid decompression group, the controlled decompression group had reduced 30-days all-c...Continue Reading
