Role of Electrocardiogram Abnormalities in Prediction of Mortality in Patients With Isolated Traumatic Brain Injury

Sponsor: Assiut University

Summary

Most common causes of ECG changes, from surgical view, are extradural haemorrhage , intracerebral haemorrhage, intraventricular haemorrhage and subarachnoid haemorrhage. A previous study reprorted ST-T wave changes in 41.5% of acute brain injury patients. In another paper , the prolonged QT interval was existed in (42.4%) of the included patients, ST depression (3.4%), ST elevation (3.4%),and morphologic end-repolarization abnormalities (10.2%). One paper reported that inverted T Wave was prevalent in 2% of the study population on admission and 0 after 24 hours of admission. The prognostic value of ECG abnormalities on the TBI patient fate is still under research. In this study we aim to observe any correlation between ECG changes in patients with isolated TBI who will attend to ED in Assiut university hospital. Aim of study: Predictive value in mortality of ECG abnormalities in patients with isolated Traumatic brain injury (TBI).
