TBI, cerebral infarction
ADVERSE EFFECTS, CEREBRAL INFARCTION
In this study, we investigated whether RIPC could enhance outcomes in patients with severe TBI. Between January 2019 and December 2022, a comprehensive assessment was conducted on 392 individuals with severe TBI. Out of these, 304 patients were initially included and randomly assigned to receive either RIPC treatment (n = 153) or a control treatment (n = 151). The main measures of results included Glasgow Outcome Scale scores at 6 months, the occurrence of cerebral infarction during hospitalization, mortality rate within 30 days, levels of neuron-specific enolase and S-100β, any adverse effects, expenses incurred during hospitalization, and duration of hospital stay.
