Controlled trial of treatment for cerebral concussion.

In a study designed to compare two types of treatment of cerebral concussion, 178 patients were allocated to a routine treatment or to an active treatment group; in the latter a good prognosis was emphasized, the patient was mobilized early and given physiotherapy. In the routine treatment group the average time off work was 32 days compared with 18 days in the active treatment group. Physiotherapy seemed to be particularly valuable in old patients and in those with exaggerated fears about their condition. It is suggested that throughout their illness and follow-up, patients with cerebral concussion should be under the care of one doctor, one who is particularly interested in the subject and that more propaganda is needed

Prognosis for patients with severe brain injuries.

Intraventricular pressure recording has been a standard procedure in the neurosurgical clinic, University Central Hospital, Helsinki, Finland, since 1964. Up to 31 December 1970, 250 recordings had been performed, 90 of these on brain-injured patients. Intraventricular pressure correlates well with survival or death of the patient but will not predict the quality of survival. However, other criteria seem to correlate well with the quality of survival.The results of a prospective study of 50 patients between 1 January 1967 and 31 December 1969 are reported. Clues to vegetative survival are very low arterial Pco(2) after a free airway has been established, a high respiratory minute volume, temperature above 39 degrees C, Cheyne-Stokes breathing, and extension rigidity in adults.When a reliable prognosis can be established that the patient is going to survive only as a vegetative wreck it is highly doubtful if the whole might of modern intensive therapy should be applied.
