Abstract

Cranioencephalic trauma (CET) is a brain tissue injury caused by direct or indirect cranial trauma, classified according to severity using the Glasgow coma scale in mild, moderate and severe. This pathology is an important cause of death in the young population, so this study was conducted in the National Hospital of El Progreso for lack of resources for clinical management, stabilization and rehabilitation of the patient, therefore it is important to characterize the patient who suffered cranioencephalic trauma from any cause; A retrospective descriptive study was conducted using 156 records with a history of cranioencephalic trauma. The data was collected on a data collection ticket to be digitized in Microsoft Excel 2010 and then analyzed according to the results obtained. Of all the files, the most affected gender was male 84% (131), the most frequent age was from 21 to 30 years 28% (43), the most frequent cause was traffic accident 58% (91), mild TBI was the most common 81% (97), only 32% (31) TAC was performed, the injury mostly observed by tomography was cerebral edema 39% (12), 5% (7) of patients had infectious complications, 6% (8) required assisted ventilation, the mortality rate was 3% (5) presenting death upon arrival. Therefore, it is recommended to raise awareness among the population in road safety education and safety measures for pilots and pedestrians, and thus modify risk behaviors to avoid an increase in mortality due to this pathology.
