Objectives: To study the occurrence of secondary insults and the influence of extracranial injuries on cerebral oxygenation and outcome in patients with closed severe head injury (Glasgow Coma Scale score less than or equal to8).Design: Two-year prospective, clinical study.Setting: Two intensive care units in a level III trauma center.Patients: We studied 119 patients. Eighty patients had severe head injury and were divided into two categories: "isolated" severe head injury patients (n = 36, Injury Severity Score < 30), and severe head injury patients with associated extracranial injuries (n = 44, injury Severity Score > 29). Thirty-nine patients with extracranial injuries and no head injury served as the control group.Interventions: After patients were admitted to the intensive care unit, we began continuous multimodal cerebral monitoring of intracranial pressure, mean arterial blood pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure, end-tidal Co-2, brain tissue Po-2 (Licox), jugular bulb oxyhemoglobin saturation in severe head injury patients, and mean arterial blood pressure in the control group. Targets of management included intracranial pressure < 20 mm Hg, cerebral perfusion pressure > 60 mm Hg, Paco(2) > 30 mm Hg, control of cerebral oxygenation, and delayed surgery for non-life-threatening extracranial lesions.Measurements and Main Results: Data were analyzed for critical thresholds. The occurrence of secondary insults (intracranial pressure > 20 mm Hg, mean arterial blood pressure < 70 mm Hg, cerebral perfusion pressure < 60 mm Hg, end-tidal Co-2
