Background and Objective: Head injury in pregnancy can increase the risks of mortality and morbidity, both for the mother andfetus. Common complications are including death, shock, intrauterine bleeding, intrauterine feta! death, feta! trauma, placental abruptio and, uterine rupture. Motor vehicle accident, falls, assault and gun shot wound are the primary cause of injury. Treatment and recogni…

As the population of all nurses working in hospitals ER Sidoarjo with the target population of 30 people, all of them the subject of research. Research variables: knowledge of nurses on the management of the c…
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the extravasations of blood into the brain parenchyma, whicli may develop into ventricular and subarachnoid space, there was spontaneous and not caused by trauma (non¬traumatic), and one of the most common cause in patients treated in the neurological critical care unit. ICH represents perhaps 10-15% of all strokes with the highest mortality rates of stroke su…
Oromaxillofacial fracture is often accompanied by head injury due to its adjacent location and structure. Risk estimation for clinically relevant intracranial lesions after minor head injury remains a major diagnostic challenge. One possible method to evaluate the possibility of intracranial lesion is by using biomarkers (biochemical marker) protein S-100. Protein S-100 is a neuron-specific pro…
An understanding of head injury mechanism has a major role in predicting the anatomical injury. Frontal depressed fracture occurs if a substantial force is applied to the head. In this case, the flexion and extension axis. Overflexion and over-extension movement was reported to have correlation with cervical injury. This study was to find out the correlation cervical injury and frontal depresse…

This study aimed to identify the changes of plasma potassium level after inintubation with rapid sequenceintubation method in severe head injury ptients using sucinylcholine as muscle relaxant. Subjects are severe head injury patients with glasgow coma scale (GCS)≤8. Plasma potassium level was measured twice, before intubation and (minutes 5,15,20) after intubation. Another variable that also…
