2 Classification of Head Injury: Presentation Primary Head Injury Occurs at the time of injury Compromised skull integrity tearing of vessels/sinuses dural tears brain contusions cranial nerve injuries Compromised brain integrity linear and rotational forces Prevention is paramount to alter primary injury Physiology Changes in Brain Injury Primary Injury: Epidural Hematoma Primary Injury Skull integrity Fractures Basilar Depressed Linear Physiology Changes in Brain Injury Cerebral Contusions Primary Injury Subdural hematoma Focal injuries Diffuse injuries Types: Fracture Coup Countercoup Herniation Surface Gliding (focal hemorrhage in cortex/subjacent white matter found in DIA Frequently frontal or temporal regions Vasogenic edema and central necrosis Diagnosis: CT and Exam 2

3 Diffuse Axonal Injury Primary Head Injury Extensive disruption of axons/white matter in both hemispheres Stress of gray-white interface Petechial hemorrhages Axonal shearing/swelling Diagnosis: CT and exam Results of compromised brain integrity and cellular changes cerebral edema hemorrhage/hematomas herniation brain death Secondary Injury: Alteration in CBF Numerous studies have found low CBF in early hours after TBI Martin et al study on CBF in TBI 1 st 12 to 24 hours: Hypoperfusion/decrease in CBF 24 hours to Day 5: CBF exceeding CMRO2 Days 5/6 to 14: Slow flow due to vasospasm CBF altered but it must be balanced with metabolism and oxygenation Physiology Changes in Brain Injury Secondary Injury Extracranial causes Hypotension Hypocapnia and Hypercapnia Hypoxia Anemia Acidosis Hyperglycemia Hyperthermia Cerebral Blood Flow Autoregulation Vasomotor control Intact: Increase in CPP causes vasoconstriction and decrease in ICP Vasomotor reactivity failure: Increase in CPP causes vasodilation and inc ICP Flow metabolism metabolism CBF Metabolic substances PaO2 PaCO2 ph i.e., acidosis = vasodilatation 3
