Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the primary reasons for hospitalization and has a significant relationship with mortality. Identifying elements affecting the analysis of patients is essential. The intention of this takes a look at became to research the prognostic position of ECG adjustments in trauma patients admitted to Sabzevar Relief Hospital in 2020. TBI is a significant contributor to mortality rates in young adults and children. Despite its prevalence and implications, research on TBI remains sparse compared to other medical conditions, necessitating greater focus on this area for better healthcare outcomes.
Materials and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study performed on 134 patients with head trauma. After recording demographic information and clinical points, ECG changes were also recorded. Chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests were used to compare data.
Results: The results showed that the prevalence of mortality in patients with head trauma was 16.4%. Mortality was statistically significantly related to age, Glasgow Coma Scale, low systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and ST-segment changes. No significant relationship was observed with gender, T-wave changes, arrhythmias upon arrival, or all ECG adjustments 24 hours after admission.
Conclusion: The findings endorse that ECG adjustments can play a significant role in predicting consequences for TBI patients. The observation aligns with previous research, indicating that monitoring those adjustments can improve person management strategies. The specific ECG adjustments are related to increased mortality in head trauma patients, highlighting the need for recurring cardiac monitoring in this population.
