Objective To explore the effect of edaravone on serum level of 8-iso-PGF2α and prognosis in patients with severe head injury(SHI).Methods 68 patients with SHI were randomly divided into two groups,which were both given conventional treatment,while the treatment group was also given extra injection of edaravone for 14d.8-iso-PGF2α,GCS score and GOS were observed and compared between the two groups respectively.Results The decrease of serum level of 8-iso-PGF2α in treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group,the GCS score and good outcomes after 3 months was significantly higher than that of the control group after the treatment(P＜0.05).Conclusion Edaravone could reduce the serum level of 8-iso-PGF2α in SHI patients and improve the prognosis.which was woah clinical application.
