Correlation between Glasgow Coma Scale with central venous pressure and near-infrared spectroscopy in patients with acquired brain injury in the intensive care unit of Adam Malik Hospital Medan

Abstract. Background. Acquired brain injury (ABI) is caused by trauma or nontrauma to the brain after birth. Increased intracranial pressure in patients with traumatic or nontraumatic brain injury affects the cerebral perfusion pressure. After traumatic brain injury, there is an increase in air cont...

description Abstract. Background. Acquired brain injury (ABI) is caused by trauma or nontrauma to the brain after birth. Increased intracranial pressure in patients with traumatic or nontraumatic brain injury affects the cerebral perfusion pressure. After traumatic brain injury, there is an increase in air content in the brain and an increase in volume of blood flow to the brain, which can cause increased intracranial pressure, herniation of brain tissue, impaired cerebral perfusion, and brain damage. Most patients with traumatic brain injury die from uncontrolled increases in intracranial pressure. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and central venous pressure (CVP) monitoring are also associated with cerebral perfusion. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores and CVP and NIRS values in patients with ABI. Methods. This prospective analytical study used a cross-sectional design to compare GCS scores with CVP and NIRS values in patients with traumatic and nontraumatic brain injury in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan. GCS, CVP, and NIRS descriptive data in patients with brain injury were presented in terms of mean and standard deviation if the data were normally distributed, or median (interquartile range) values if the data were not normally distributed. The relationship between GCS scores and CVP and NIRS values was assessed using the Pearson correlation test if the data were normally distributed, or the Spearman test if the data were not normally distributed. Results. In this study, the mean GCS score and CVP values were 7.04 ± 2.69 and 5.63 ± 25.82 mmHg, respectively. The right tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) was 55.61% ± 18.72%, and the left StO2 was 57.57% ± 17.48% with normally distributed data. There was no correlation between GCS scores and CVP values (P = 0.829), and no correlation between moderate GCS scores and right and left StO2 (P = 0.343; P = 0.121); however, there was a significantly strong positive correlation between severe GCS scores and right and left StO2 (P = 0.028, r = 0.656; P = 0.005, r = 0.777). Conclusion. There was no significant correlation between GCS scores and CVP values, and no correlation between moderate GCS scores and NIRS values; however, there was a significantly strong positive correlation between severe GCS scores and NIRS values in patients with ABI at the ICU of Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan.
