title: [Results of treatment of severe craniocerebral injuries in an interdisciplinary intensive therapy unit].
abstract: Early results of treatment of severe craniocerebral injury were analysed in the Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy, Province Hospital in Bielsko Biała. The preliminary scoring below 15 points of Glasgow scale was obtained. During five years of observation 63 out of 78 patients (80.7%) died. Full recovery was obtained in two cases (2.56%). The results of treatment were analysed in relation to clinical diagnosis, associated injuries, age of patients and treatment results. Pulmonary complications were significantly more frequent: adult respiratory distress syndrome and acute posttraumatic pulmonary oedema (over 60% of cases). The treatment methods and their modifications are surveyed.
