Transported TBI patients
Traumatically brain injured patients undergoing in-hospital transport.
|
- Incidence of adverse events during transport. [ Time Frame: Each transport event ]
- Incidence of elevated heart rate during transport. [ Time Frame: Each transport event ]
- Incidence of transport events during which SpO2 remains below 90% for 1 minute or longer [ Time Frame: Each transport event ]
- Transport events during which systolic blood pressure remains below 90 mmHg for 5 minutes or longer [ Time Frame: Each transport event ]
- Transport events during which mean arterial blood pressure remains below 60 mmHg for 5 minutes or longer [ Time Frame: Each transport event ]
- Transport events during which intracranial pressure exceeds 20 mmHg for 5 minutes or longer [ Time Frame: Each transport event ]
- Transport events during which cerebral perfusion pressure remains below 70 mmHg for 5 minutes or longer [ Time Frame: Each transport event ]
- Number of instances of physiological change that require caregiver intervention, such as ventilator manipulation or drug therapy [ Time Frame: Each transport event ]
