Brief Description about the Project
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), or severe head injury, is a serious condition that often requires treatment in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). One of the most important aspects of managing these patients is ensuring that enough blood reaches the brain, which is measured by a value called Cerebral Perfusion Pressure (CPP).
Current treatment guidelines suggest maintaining CPP between 60–70 mmHg for all patients. However, research shows that this “one-size-fits-all” approach may not be ideal, because each patient’s brain reacts differently after injury. A new technique, called CPPopt, uses advanced software to calculate the optimal blood flow pressure for each individual patient based on their brain’s current condition.
This study will compare the standard method (fixed CPP) with the individualized method (CPPopt) to find out which is better in improving patient outcomes, such as recovery, disability levels, and survival. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups, and their progress will be tracked during hospital stay and after discharge.
