Abstract:Objective To explore the value of bispectral index (BIS) in predicting the prognosis of patients with acute severe brain injury. Methods The clinical data of 46 patients with acute severe brain injury in our hospital from June 2013 to June 2015 were retrospectively analyzed, the 28 cases survived were as the survival group, and the 18 cases died were as the death group. All of the research subjects were given BIS monitoring 24 h after admission.Their Reaction Level Scale (RLS85) score and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Scoring System II (APACHE II) score were analyzed at the same time. The differences between the two groups were compared, and the correlations of BIS with RLS85 score and APACHE II score were analyzed. Results The scores of APACHE II and RLS85 in the survival group were statistically lower than those in the death group (P < 0.05), while the value of BIS in the survival group was significantly higher than that in the death group (P < 0.05). The BIS value was negatively correlated with scores of APACHE II and RLS85 (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BIS was an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of patients. Conclusions BIS can be used to predict the prognosis of patients with acute severe brain injury, at the same time, it has an important role in clinical evaluation and treatment options.
