Prehospital Postintubation Hypotension and Survival in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Preventing systemic disturbances, such as hypotension and hypoxia, is key to reducing the impact of secondary neuronal injury after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Postintubation hypotension is prevalent and may be associated with worse outcomes in patients with trauma undergoing emergency anesthesia.

Objective

To investigate the association between postintubation hypotension and 30-day mortality in patients with severe TBI undergoing prehospital rapid sequence induction.

Design, setting, and participants

This multicenter, retrospective, observational cohort study was performed between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2022, in the East of England Trauma Network, including 3 helicopter emergency medical services (East Anglian Air Ambulance, Essex & Herts Air
