ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To identify in mild head injured children the major differences between those with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) 15 and GCS 13/14.

METHOD:

Cross-sectional study accomplished through information derived from medical records of mild head injured children presented in the emergency room of a Pediatric Trauma Centre level I, between May 2007 and May 2008.

RESULTS:

1888 patients were included. The mean age was 7.6±5.4 years; 93.7 percent had GCS 15; among children with GCS 13/14, 46.2 percent (p<0.001) suffered multiple traumas and 52.1 percent (p<0.001) had abnormal cranial computed tomography (CCT) scan. In those with GCS 13/14, neurosurgery was performed in 6.7 percent and 9.2 percent (p=0.001) had neurological disabilities.

CONCLUSION:

Those with GCS 13/14 had frequently association with multiple traumas, abnormalities in CCT scan, require of neurosurgical procedure and Intensive Care Unit admission. We must be cautious in classified children with GCS 13/14 as mild head trauma victims.
RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

Identificar as principais diferenças entre os pacientes com Escala de Coma de Glasgow (GCS) 15 e aqueles com escore 13/14.

MÉTODO:

Estudo realizado por meio da revisão de prontuários médicos de crianças vítimas de traumatismo craniencefálico leve, admitidas em Centro de Urgências Pediátricas nível I, durante um ano.

RESULTADOS:

Incluídas 1888 vítimas; idade média de 7,6±5,4 anos; 93,7 por cento apresentaram pontuação 15 na GCS. Naqueles com pontuação 13/14, 46,2 por cento (p<0,001) sofreram traumas múltiplos e 52,1 por cento (p<0,001) apresentaram alterações na tomografia de crânio. Tratamento neurocirúrgico foi necessário em 6,7 por cento dos pacientes com GCS 13/14 e 9,2 por cento (p=0,001) apresentaram seqüelas neurológicas no momento da alta hospitalar.

CONCLUSÃO:

Crianças com escore 13/14 apresentam maior prevalência de traumas múltiplos, alterações na tomografia de crânio, necessidade de tratamento neurocirúrgico e internação em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva. Devemos ser cautelosos ao classificar crianças com pontuação 13/14 na GCS como vítimas de traumatismo craniano leve.
