Objective:To investigate the rescuing principles of severe open craniocerebral injuries caused by traffic accidents.Methods:A retrospective study was performed for 36 patients admitted to our hospital from January 1986 to December 1995,who suffered from severe open craniocerebral injuries in traffic accidents.Results:These 36 cases occupied 52.10% of all the severe open craniocerebral injuries during the same period.The clinical features included confusion of consciousness, extensive cerebral contusion and laceration,severe contamination of the wound,high incidence of intracranial hematoma and multiple system injuries.Nineteen patients.(63.34%)ecovered normal neurological function,7 were (23.33%)mild disabled,4(13.33%)severe disabled,2(5.56%) vegetative survival,and 4(11.11%)dead.Conclusions:The main principles of salvage should emphasize the importance of emergent prehospital rescue,and be transfered to a specialized hospital as soon as possible.Postoperative complications included severe brain edema,intracerebral infection,and pneumonia,Debriding thoroughly at early stage and treating complications effectively would lower the rate of mortality and disability.
