To further describe the pathophysiologic processes that occur in infants and young children after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), we retrospectively reviewed the cerebral blood flow (CBF) values and 6-month Glasgow Outcome Scores (GOS) in 30 children 70 ml/100 g/min tended to be associated with a good outcome. Poor outcome (GOS or = 24 months old. Mean CO2VR was 2.1+/-0.6%/torr PaCO2 and ranged from 0.02 to 5.98%. Mean CO2VR tended to differ between good and poor outcome children (3.2+/-0.9 and 1.17+/-0.2%, respectively) and a CO2VR of < or = 2% was significantly associated with a poor outcome. Younger age, low CBF in the early period after TBI, and a CO2VR of <2% was associated with a poor outcome in this subgroup of children. Young children (<24 months) may represent a particular high-risk group with early hypoperfusion after severe TBI. This finding may be a key factor in the pathophysiology and outcome in this age group, and may need to be addressed in our future therapeutic protocols.
