[Crucial evaluation of medical management in patients with cranial and brain injuries from the moment of the accident to the end of the diagnostics].
The aim of the research was to verify the procedures of first-aid and treatment in 100 patients with cranial and brain injuries, admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. Material was estimated using Ambulance and Surgical Ambulatory data and Intensive Care Unit case records. Medical procedure at the place of accident and during transport, duration of the transport to the hospital, duration of the diagnostics and morbidity in studied groups were estimated. Considering the analysed material, it seems that following procedures have significant influence on the final outcome: 1. full resuscitation of the patient at the place of accident; 2. correct protection of the injured person during transport and duration of the transport; 3. time necessary for full and correct diagnostics.
