Abstract: Traumatic brain injuries are still the leading cause of death and disability, and require care on Intensive Care Unit (ICU). A traumatic brain injury caused by mechanical mass from outside the body, leads to impaired cognitive and psychosocial function that can occur temporarily or permanently, and can cause loss of consciousness. This study aims to determine the profile of the patients with moderate and severe traumatic brain injuries treated in ICU and HCU, using retrospective descriptive study conducted in September to November 2016 in the Medical Record department of Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou, Manado. The sample size was determined by non-probability sampling method, a purposive sampling. Samples are ICU and HCU patients with the diagnosis of moderate to severe traumatic brain injury, who meet the inclusion criteria in the medical record of the data period September 2015 to August 2016. From the obtained sample of 40 patients, males dominate the gender category with 33 cases (83%). SIRS complications found in 23 cases (57.5%). Most patients are treated within 1–7 days, which also become the most patients who died within their length of stay. Patients who dies account for a total of 25 patients (62.5%) and most died after > 48 hours (72%) of treatment; out of the 25 deceased patients, 18 among them (45%) died from severe traumatic brain injury. Conclusion: The mortality rate is highest on severe head injury; most patients died after > 48 hours in the ICU and the HCU.Keywords: moderate traumatic brain injury, severe traumatic brain injury Abstrak: Cedera kepala masih merupakan penyebab utama kematian dan kecacatan, dan memerlukan perawatan Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Cedera kepala disebabkan oleh massa mekanik dari luar tubuh yang mengakibatkan gangguan fungsi kognitif dan psikososial, dapat terjadi sementara atau permanen, dan dapat menyebabkan penurunan kesadaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil pasien cedera kepala sedang dan berat yang dirawat pada ICU dan HCU, menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif retrospektif yang dilakukan pada September sampai dengan November 2016 di Instalasi Rekam Medik RSUP Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou, Manado. Besar sampel ditentukan dengan metode non probability sampling yaitu purposive sampling. Sampel penelitian adalah pasien ICU dan HCU dengan diagnosa cedera kepala sedang dan berat yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi pada data Rekam Medik periode September 2015 sampai dengan Agustus 2016. Hasil penelitian didapatkan jumlah sampel 40 pasien, dengan jenis kelamin terbanyak laki-laki 33 orang (83%). Komplikasi SIRS ditemui pada 23 kasus (57,5%). Paling banyak pasien dirawat pada 1–7 hari dan pasien yang meninggal dunia terbanyak pada lama rawat 1–7 hari. Pasien meninggal dunia berjumlah 25 orang (62,5%) dan terbanyak meninggal dunia setelah > 48 jam (72%); dari 25 orang yang meninggal dunia pasien dengan cedera kepala berat sebanyak 18 orang (45%). Simpulan: Angka mortalitas tertinggi ada pada cedera kepala berat, dan pasien meninggal dunia paling banyak setelah > 48 jam di ICU dan HCU. Kata kunci: cedera kepala sedang, cedera kepala berat

Traumatic brain injuries are complex situations in which the emergency medical services must quickly determine the risk of deterioration using minimal diagnostic methods. The aim of this study is to analyze whether the use of early warning scores can help with decision-making in these dynamic situations by determining the patients who need the intensive care unit. A prospective, multicentric cohort study without intervention was carried out on traumatic brain injury patients aged over 18 given advanced life support and taken to the hospital. Our study included a total of 209 cases. The total number of intensive-care unit admissions was 50 cases (23.9%). Of the scores analyzed, the National Early Warning Score2 was the best result presented with an area under the curve of 0.888 (0.81–0.94; p < 0.001) and an odds ratio of 25.4 (95% confidence interval (CI):11.2–57.5). The use of early warning scores (and specifically National Early Warning Score2) can help the emergency medical services to differentiate traumatic brain injury patients with a high risk of deterioration. The emergency medical services should use the early warning scores routinely in all cases for the early detection of high-risk situations.
