ABSTRACT
The present study realized with 50 patients from an Intensive Care Unit, due to head injury and considering that the majority of them presented a score equal or below six (6) in the Glasgow Coma Scale, has shown that the utilization of invasive procedures is high. Regarding complications, there was predominance of fever, upper airway secretions, hematomas at the arterial puncture localization and diarrhea. Proportionally, the patients under a clinical treatment presented a lower number of invasive procedures and problems and the reverse occurred with those under surgery. The analysis of the association of the invasive procedures and problems compared to the level of consciousness has been affected.
