1. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRIMARYAND
SECONDARY HEAD INJURY
MANAGEMENT OF EDHAND SDH
Presenter- Dr Ravi Bhushan jha Rajeev
Sir GangaRam Hospital New Delhi
Moderater- Dr Srikrishna Das
2. Agenda
◦ Basic anatomy
◦ Head injury and its types
◦ Mechanism of Head injury
◦ EDH and SDH
◦ Management to a patient
3. Epidemology of Head injury
◦ 25% of all trauma deaths
◦ 50% of all deaths from RTA
4. Indian Head Injury Foundation
◦ India – highest rate of head injuries in the world
◦ Yearly 1,00,000 lives lost with 1 million suffering from severe head injury
◦ 1 out off 6 trauma victim dies in India
◦ RTAapprox. 50% cases
◦ Motorcylist and pedesticians most common victims
15. Head Injury
◦ Any Trauma to Scalp , skull or Brain
◦ Traumatic Brain Injury(TBI)- A non degenerative , non congenital insult to brain from an external
mechanical force possibly leading to permanent or temporary impairment of cognitive , physical
and psychosocial functions with an associated altered state of consciousness.
16. Head Injury
◦ Pathophysiologically:
Primary Brain Injury :
-occurs at the time of impact
-mechanical damage which is irreversible
- causes permanent mechanical cellular disruption and microvascular injury.
-includes 1) cerebral contusions
2) diffuse axonal injuries (DAI)
3) cerebral lacerations
17. Head Injury
Secondary Brain Injury
-occurs over a period of time ( from hours to days) after the moment of impact
- Includes cascade of cellular , chemical , tissue or blood vessel changes
-Largely preventable and treatable
◦ “In an ideal world no secondary brain damage would occur”
19. Causes of secondary brain damage
◦ If the extracranial insults are associated with intracranial lesions- Penumbra
becomes the primary target of hypoxemia or ischemia.
◦ Higher levels of CPP are associated with better outcomes from head injury
23. MECHANISM OF HEAD INJURY
BLUNT INJURY
High Velocity
Low Velocity
PENETRATING INJURY
Gunshot
Sharp instruments
24. MECHANISM OF HEAD INJURY
Scalp injury
Skull fractures : a) Vault fracture b) Base of skull fracture
Intracranial injury : a) Focal lesions
Extradural hematoma
Subdural hematoma
Subarachnoid hematoma
Intracranial hematoma
b)Diffuse lesions
Contusions (multiple)
DAI
25. MECHANISM OF HEAD INJURY
SCALP INJURY
Cephal-Hematoma
Subgaleal Hematoma
Scalp laceration
26. MECHANISM OF HEAD INJURY
Vault : Linear/stellate
Depressed/non depressed
Open/closed
27. MECHANISM OF HEAD INJURY
◦ Basilar skull fracture
Usually diagnosed on CT imaging or on clinical
Clinical signs include Battle sign ,Raccoon Eyes and
CSF leak.
May or may not be associated with seventh and eighth
CN injury
29. INTRACRANIAL LESIONS
Extradural hematoma(EDH)
Collection of blood & clot between duramater and bones
Source: Middle Meningeal Artery
Dural Venous Sinuses
Clinical feature: Brief loss of consciousness, headache,
Nausea , Vomiting
Lucid interval
Rapid clinical deterioration
Contralateral hemiparesis
30. Extradural hematoma(EDH)
Classical presentation seen only in 1/3 rd cases
On CT scan lentiform hyperdense lesion between skull and brain
Associated with mass effect on underlying brain with or without midline
shift.
Overall mortality rate 18% in all cases but only 2% in isolated EDH
31.
32. Treatment options
◦ Two treatment options
◦ Immediate surgical intervention
◦ Initial conservative , close clinical observation with possible delayed
evacuation
33. Burr hole
A burr hole is placed on
the side of the dilating
pupil.
In the absence of a CT
scan, the burr hole is
placed 2 finger widths
anterior to the tragus of
the ear and 3 finger widths
above the tragus of the ear.
34.
35. Surgical management of Acute (EDH)
Indications:
◦ Volume greater than 30cc should be evacuated regardless of GCS
◦ Volume less than 30cc or < 15mm thickness or < 5mm midline shift or GCS
> 8 may be managed non-operatively
◦ Timing
◦ Any patient with acute EDH with GCS<9 /anisocoria should undergo
operation “as soon as possible”
◦ Methods
No preferred surgical method
Neurosurgery 58:S2 1-62, 2006
36. MEDICAL THERAPIES FOR HEAD INJURY
◦ Head end elevation – 30 degrees
◦ Intravenous fluids:
Maintain normovolemia
Hypotonic saline should not be used
◦ Serum sodium levels monitored daily
◦ HYPERVENTILATION
◦ Barbiturates
37. Acute subdural Hematoma(SDH)
Between duraand arachnoid
Disruptionof cortical vesselsor brain laceration produces hematoma
Associated with significant primary injury
Mortality rateas high as 40% in some series
39. Surgical management of Acute SDH
◦ Indications:
◦ SDH with thickness > 10mm or midline shift > 5mm should be evacuated regardless of GCS
◦ GCS < 9 should have ICP monitoring
◦ Thickness < 10mm or < 5mm midline shift should be evacuated if GCS drops 2 or more
points from injury to admission, pupillary function is abnormal, or ICP> 20 mm Hg
◦ Timing
“As soon as possible”
◦ Methods
Craniotomy with or without bone flap removal/duroplasty
40. Chronic subdural Hemorrhage
Usually occurs in elderly on anti coagulant or anti platelet agents
H/o minor head injury in weeks or months prior to presentation
C/f- Headache, cognitive impairment, focal neurological deficit and seizures.
CT scan: acute blood (0-10 days) = hyperdense
sub acute blood (10-14 days) = isodense
chronic blood (>2 weeks) =hypodense
41. Acute on chronic SDH
Chronic SDH will more recent hemorrhage in dependant (posterior)
areas.
Treatment is Burr hole evacuation rather than craniotomy
42. Comparision
EDH
◦ Usually accidental injury
◦ Middle meningeal artery
◦ Lentiform
◦ Donot cross sutures
SDH
◦ Usually non accidental
◦ Bridging veins and dural venous sinuses
◦ Cresentic
◦ Cross sutures

given
About 3 decades ago trauma was not considered as a disease , however there is a paradigm shift in consensus. Becoz trauma is preventable and frequently predictable, it is subject to same epidemiology as disease.
By defining and addressing trauma as a disease we can develop interventions with potential to reduce impact and incidence.
Majority of head injury patients are presently managed by emergency services that do not have knowledge of specialised of pathophysiology of treatment. It is the reason that the traditional division of primary and secondary damage remains useful.
Includes cascade of cellular , chemical , tissue or blood vessel changes that contributes to further destruction of brain tissue.
classification of secondary brain damage hastraditionally been into extra- and intracranial
penumbra of functionally impaired but potentially viable tissue
Uncontrolled increase in icp results in cerebral herniation.
Dr monro in 1783 observed that cranium is a rigid box containing a nearly incompressible brain
Cushings reflex= physiological nerveous response to RICT resulting in cushings triad increased BP irregular breathing and bradycardia
Seen in terminal stage of acute head injury and indicate imminent brain herniation
Vault= space in skull within neurocranium occupied by brain
With extradural hemorrhage, the time from firstrecorded deterioration in level of consciousness tooperation was less than 2 hours on average inpatients who made a good recovery or who were onlymoderately disabled.
Pentrator
Burr hole bit
Bone rongeur
Scalpel
No role as prophylaxis in 24 hrs.
Reducing PaCO2 cerebral vasoconstriction
Maintain PaCo2 25 – 35 mmhg
Last resort for reducing ICP
TEMPORARY MEASURE ONLY
Barbiturates
Effective in reducing ICP – refactory to other measures
Not used in presence of hypotension/hypovolemia
Phenytoin- Loading18 – 20 mg/kg
Most common type of intracranial lesion
High morbidity and mortality
patients present with impaired conscious level from the time of injury
acute subduralhemorrhage the time from injury to operation strongly influenced outcome, delays of more than 4 hours frominjury being the most significant.
Patients with acute SDH and GCS < 9 should have ICP monitoring
Acute blood is too viscus to evacuate through burr hole
2-3 weeks after acute
Small bridging veins tear and cause small clinically
silent ASDH ,when hematoma breaks down and
increases in size mass effect is produced
Bystanders and paramedics may provide vital information
Preinjury- fits, alcohol , chest pain
Pre-medicate with Lidocaine, 1mg/kg IV 2 minutes
prior to attempt
Laryngoscopy produces an ICP Spike
. Though one would assume that the ICP mediated effects of lidocaine stem from its local anesthetic effect, there are other proposed mechanisms of ICP reduction via the IV route. Lidocaine injected IV has been shown in models to induce cerebral vasoconstriction leading to a decrease in cerebral blood volume and thus ICP . Furthermore, IV lidocaine leads to sodium channel inhibition and thus a reduction in cerebral activity and metabolic demands [3, 4], as well as excitotoxicity , leading to a potential ICP reduction effect.
Subgaleal hematoma, laceration
Midbrain or brainstem dysfunction –gaze paresis
In 1848, Gage, 25, was the foreman of a crew cutting a railroad bed in Cavendish, Vermont. On September 13, as he was using a tamping iron to pack explosive powder into a hole, the powder detonated. The tamping iron—43 inches long, 1.25 inches in diameter and weighing 13.25 pounds—shot skyward, penetrated Gage’s left cheek, ripped into his brain and exited through his skull, landing several dozen feet away. Though blinded in his left eye, he might not even have lost consciousness,
skull, the tamping iron and a mask of his face made while he was alive are the most sought-out items at the Warren Anatomical Museum on the Harvard Medical School campus.
