Objective: To develop a tool for assessing intentions to continue or change activities for recovery following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and determine if they are dependent on injury context or activity type. Method: Adult volunteers with no (or no recent) history of mTBI were randomly allocated to one of two vignette conditions, each with a different injury context. The vignette described an mTBI due to a motor vehicle accident (MVA, n = 76) or sport (SPORT, n = 89). Volunteers reported their rest or activity plans for 39 behaviours comprising three behaviour types (cognitive, physical, and restful). Results: Compared to a cut-score representing no change, on average there was a significant (p <= .001) planned decrease in physical and cognitive behaviours (MVAphysicalt(53) = 7.373; SPORTphysicalt(41) = 9.281; MVAcognitivet(41) = 9.367; SPORTcognitivet(51) = −3.521) and a significant planned increase in restful behaviours, such as sleep (MVArestfult(72) = 10.006; SPORTrestfult(86) = 9.566). An overall within-group effect for behaviour-type was not identified and there was no effect of condition (MVA vs. SPORT). Conclusion: The acute rest and activity plans for a simulated mTBI are behaviour specific and not dependent on context. An expectation for blanket-rest was not was observed but rest was planned for specific behaviours. This tool could be used to guide discussions with mTBI patients about their recovery so that their plans align with advice, and it could aid further research into the relation between intended and actual rest and activity and the effect on eventual outcomes.

Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading congenital disease with the incidence of 8 patients of 1000 livebirth. Around 85% of patients with CHD is expected to reach adult age in United States of America. Management of traumatic brain injury in patients with CHD requires combination of fine understanding on pathophysiology of CHD and neuroanesthesia technique. A male patient, 17 years of age had a motor vehicle accident and was diagnosed with moderate traumatic brain injury, intracerebral hemorrhage, epidural hemorrhage and cerebral edema with Tetralogy of Fallot, underwent an emergency craniotomy for ICH evacuation. Surgery was done under general anesthesia and lasted for approximately 3 hours. Challenges during anesthesia and surgery include maintaining optimal oxygen delivery, avoiding increase in oxygen demand and preventing catecholamine release which may trigger hypercyanotic tet spell. Patient was observed and ventilator supported in Intensive Observation Ward and was extubated at the same post surgery day. Patient was then observed in the Ward and sent home on the 14th day after the incident.

Background: In this article, we discuss the dramatic decline in the utilization of invasive cranial monitoring of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Case Description: A 52-year-old male presented with a severe TBI following a motor vehicle accident. The initial computed tomography scan showed a subdural hematoma, and the patient underwent a craniotomy. However, preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively, the critical care team never utilized invasive cranial monitoring. Therefore, when the patient expired several weeks later due to multiorgan failure, his death was in part attributed to the neurocritical care specialists’ failure to employ invasive cranial monitoring techniques. Conclusion: Evidence-based and defensive medicine, cost containment, and a lack of leadership have contributed to neurocritical care specialists’ increased failure to utilize invasive hemodynamic and neurological monitoring for TBI.

Traumatic Pseudoaneurysm

Injury to the carotid artery can occur in the setting of blunt and penetrating trauma. Such injury can result in pseudoaneurysm formation. We present a case of posttraumatic common carotid pseudoaneurysm (PTCP) that was diagnosed and treated 2 months after a motor vehicle accident and review the literature on the presentation, diagnosis, and management of PTCP.
