Objective To investigate the clinical value of noninvasive monitoring technique in intracranial hemorrhage and secondary brain edema after operation for traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods A retrospective case-series analysis was done on 196 TBI patients (128 males and 68 females,aged 18-60 years old,median age 36.5 years old) admitted from January 2014 to December 2015 and treated surgically with simultaneous implantation of intracranial pressure (ICP) probe.There were 89 patients with Glasgow coma score (GCS) 6-8 points and 107 with GCS 9-12 points.The values of ICP were recorded.The changes of cerebral electrical impedance (CEI) were monitored in all patients through the BORN-BE noninvasive monitor.Results The disturbance factor of the BORN-BE noninvasive monitor in brain edema in the cerebral stage exhibited a strongly positive correlation with ICP (R =0.954,R2 =0.910,P ＜ 0.05).All the rebleeding occurred within 24 hours after operation in the study.The disturbance factor showed a significant reduction in the bleeding side,which exhibited a strongly negative correlation with the volume of cerebral hemorrhage (R =-0.982,R2 =0.964,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion After operation for TBI,the ICE changes from dynamic noninvasive monitor can reflect the severity of brain edema digitally,indicating that the postoperative rebleeding and its volume may play an important role in selection of optimal treatment.
