NONINVASIVE MONITORING OF PATIENTS WITH TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 该计划的总体技术目标是展示脑声监测器(BAM)在检测和表征大脑病理方面的有效性，以便它可以在临床和实践中用于战场情况下的初始分诊、持续监测和对适合作战的战士进行分类。这一目标的组成部分主要分为两大类，临床研究和向现场设备过渡。研究对象人群包括R Adams Cowley休克创伤中心收治的所有创伤性脑损伤(TBI)患者。这些患者在入院时、住院期间和作为门诊患者(受伤后3、6和12个月)接受BAM监测。在监测过程中，受试者还会完成神经心理测试。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The overall technical objective of the program is demonstration of the efficacy of the Brain Acoustic Monitor (BAM) for detection and characterization of brain pathology such that it can be clinically and practically used in a battlefield situation for initial triage, ongoing monitoring, and classification of a warfighter as fit for battle. The components of this objective fall into two main categories, the clinical studies and the equipment transitioning to a fieldable device. The research subject population consists of all patients admitted to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center with a traumatic brain injury (TBI). These patients are monitored with the BAM at admission, during their hospital course, and as outpatients (3, 6 and 12 month post injury). During the monitoring sessions the subjects also complete neuropsychological testing.
