To Evaluate Frequency of Intracranial Hemorrhage in Patients of Head Trauma with GCS 10-15

Abstract

Background: A common cause of mortality is traumatic brain injury (TBI). One of the deadliest complications is cerebral bleeding. Unanimously, CT scans are considered as gold-standard diagnostic tools for traumatic brain damage. In-patient assessment is aided by the patient's general condition score (GCS). Patients with a high GCS are often overlooked, yet it is possible that they may have major difficulties in the future. However, it is debatable whether or not a CT scan should be performed in individuals with GCS between 13 and 15 or not. Objective: It is our goal to examine individuals who have suffered head trauma and have a high GCS 10-15 on a CT scan who may have been overlooked but are now experiencing symptoms. We discovered the prevalence of ICH in 70 individuals with GCS ranging from 10-15. Methods: The computed tomography scans of 70 individuals with head trauma were performed. All patients underwent a non-contrast computed brain CT scan of 5mm axial images and slice thicknesses from the foramen magnum up to the vertex from which the findings were obtained. The patient's name, age, gender, and GCS score were all entered into a Performa. Results: The results showed that 32 patients (45.71 percent) experienced cerebral bleeding out of 70 individuals. Conclusion: Patients with RTA are at greater risk of developing ICH, and this risk is greater in men than in women.
