Neuromonitorización en el traumatismo craneoencefálico grave. Datos del Registro español de Trauma en UCI (RETRAUCI) / Neuromonitoring in the severe traumatic brain injury. Spanish Trauma ICU Registry (RETRAUCI)

OBJETIVOS: Analizar el empleo de la monitorización de la presión intracraneal (PIC) y la oxigenación cerebral en los pacientes con traumatismo craneoencefálico (TCE) grave de acuerdo con los datos del Registro español de Trauma en las Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos (RETRAUCI). MÉTODOS: Se incluyó a los pacientes con TCE y una puntuación en la escala de coma de Glasgow ≤ 8 puntos. El contraste de hipótesis se realizó con el test de la t de Student o de Wilcoxon (variables cuantitativas) y el test de la chi al cuadrado (variables categóricas). Se realizó un análisis multivariante mediante regresión logística para analizar las variables asociadas al empleo de monitorización de la PIC. RESULTADOS: Se analizó a 1.463 pacientes. Edad 49,1 años, hombres 1.130 (77,3%). Mecanismo lesional: caídas accidentales 350 casos (23,9%). Injury Severity Score 27,9. Un 39,3% presentó midriasis uni o bilateral en la recogida. Cirugía craneal < 24 h 331 pacientes (22,7%). La PIC se monitorizó en 635 pacientes (45,1%), la presión tisular de oxígeno en 122 pacientes (8,6%), la saturación yugular de oxígeno en 19 pacientes (1,34%) y se empleó el espectroscopia del infrarrojo cercano en 25 casos (1,77%). Tras el análisis multivariante, la edad, la midriasis bilateral al ingreso y la toma previa antiagregantes o anticoagulantes se asociaron negativamente a la probabilidad de monitorización de la PIC. La gravedad lesional y la necesidad de neurocirugía urgente aumentaron la probabilidad de monitorización. CONCLUSIONES: Nuestro trabajo muestra una foto fija de la monitorización de la PIC en el TCE grave en nuestro medio. El empleo de técnicas de oximetría cerebral en nuestro país es muy limitado

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the use of intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral oximetry monitoring in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) according to the Spanish Trauma ICU Registry (RETRAUCI). METHODS: We included TBI patients with Glasgow Coma Scale score ≤ 8. Hypotheses were tested using the Student-T or Wilcoxon tests (quantitative variables) and the Chi-square test (categorical variables). Multivariate analysis using logistic regression was performed to analyze the variables associated with the use of ICP monitoring. RESULTS: We analyzed 1463 patients. Age 49.1 years. Males 1130 (77.3%). Mechanism of injury: falls in 350 cases (23.9%). Injury Severity Score 27.9. Uni- or bilateral mydriasis was present in 39.3% of the patients. Neurosurgical intervention within 24 hours was performed in 331 patients (22.7%). ICP was monitored in 635 patients (45.1%), pbtO2 in 122 patients (8.6%), SjVO2 in 19 patients (1.34%) and NIRS was used in 25 cases (1.77%). In the multivariate analysis, age, bilateral mydriasis at admission and previous use of antiplatelets or anticoagulants was inversely related with ICP monitoring. Severity of injury and the need of neurosurgical intervention increased the probability of ICP monitoring. CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows a picture of ICP monitoring in severe TBI patients in our environment. Use of cerebral oximetry techniques is very limited
