Association between prehospital oxygen saturation and outcomes in hypotensive traumatic brain injury patients in Asia (Pan-Asian Trauma Outcomes Study (PATOS)).

ABSTRACT:

Background

It has been shown that blood pressure (BP) and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO₂) influence the outcomes in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) patients. This study aims to determine the association between prehospital SpO₂ and in-hospital mortality in hypotensive TBI patients.

Methods

Prehospital trauma patients who were 18 years old or above with a diagnosis of TBI using ICD 10 codes (S06.0-S06.9) and had prehospital hypotension (systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 100 mmHg for patients aged 50-69 and < 110 mmHg for patients aged 15-49 or over 70 years) recorded from November 2015 to December 2022 in participating PATOS facilities were analyzed. SpO₂ was measured by Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and divided into three levels: normoxia (
