Abstract

Traumatic brain injury causes mortality and morbidity worldwide. Epidural Haemorrhage (EDH) is a form of head injury where time is an indicator that must be considered in its management. The main focus during traumatic brain injury management is patient stabilization and control of intracranial pressure, as well as maintaining brain oxygenation and perfusion. Subsequently, surgical decompression was performed. Evacuation and bleeding control should be done in a short time to avoid further injury. The practice of neuroanesthesia, as a support in the management of traumatic brain injuries, is often associated with blood loss that results in anemia during the intraoperative and postoperative periods. Although anemia correlates with poor outcome in brain-injured patients, red blood cell transfusion to correct anemia also correlates with poor outcome in patients. There are still no clear recommendations regarding the administration of transfusions, whether restrictive or massive, regarding the benefits provided. Male patient, age 51 years with complaints of decreased consciousness and vomiting, referred from the previous hospital with a diagnosis of moderate head injury 225 with 96cc temporoparietal EDH, 11mm midline shift to the right, and cerebral edema. During the operation period, there was massive bleeding that interfered with the hemodynamic status so that blood components were transfused until a stable hemodynamic status was obtained. In postoperative care in the ICU, the patient is relatively in good condition.
