Objective To assess the influence between managements in emergency room(ER) andoutcome of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI),in order to provide inference for treatment.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in severe TBI patients and recorded next indexes.(1) The managements in ER,including endotracheal intubation and oxygenation,fluid resuscitation,and mannitol intake.(2) The vital signs arriving at ICU,including systolic pressure and blood oxygen saturation.(3) Prognostic indicators including inhospital mortality and days during ICU,the scores of Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) at discharge and 6 months after injury.Results In 140 severe TBI patients,65 patients (46.4%) died during ICU.The mortality of patients with endotracheal intubation [65.0% (39/60)] was significantly higher than that without endotracheal intubation [32.5%(26/80)](P< 0.01).The mortality in whether fluid resuscitation and using mannitol had no significant difference [44.7% (46/103) vs.51.4% (19/37),49.2% (31/63) vs.44.2% (34/77)] (P >0.05).In days during ICU,there was no significant difference among the three treatment measures (P> 0.05).In GOS grade at discharge and 6 months after injury,the proportion of 4 and 5 grade were 8.3% (5/60) and 25.0% (15/60) in patients with endotracheal intubation,while 27.5% (22/80) and 52.5% (42/80) in patients without endotraeheal intubation (P < 0.01).In fluid resuscitation and using mannitol patients,there were no significant difference(P > 0.05).Conclusion Treating severe TBI patients in ER,endotracheal intubation should be carefully chosen,fluid resuscitation and mannitol may not be given.
