Abstract:Objective To explore the related risk factors of cerebral infarction after craniocerebral injury, so as to guide early clinical intervention, control complications and improve the prognosis of the patients. Methods Patients undergoing craniotomy after trauma were defined as research objects. The high risk factors of cerebral infarction were statistically analyzed. Results Old age, low systolic pressure, certain types of brain injury (brain contusion, subdural hematoma), preoperative coma, occurrence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and cerebral hernia were significantly different between the cerebral infarction group and the control group (p < 0.05), and were all risk factors of cerebral infarction. Conclusions Old age, low systolic pressure, certain types of brain injury (brain contusion, subdural hematoma), preoperative coma, occurrence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and cerebral hernia are the risk factors of cerebral infarction after craniocerebral injury. Cerebral infarction occurs usually between 4 hours and 1 week after operation, mainly in the lobes of brain.
