Early prediction of outcome following head injury in children: an assessment of the value of Glasgow Coma Scale score trend and abnormal plantar and pupillary light reflexes.

A retrospective study of 95 children less than 15 years of age with significant head injury was made to assess the value of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score trend and plantar and pupillary light reflexes during the first 24 hours after injury, in predicting eventual outcome. GCS score trend or reflexes used alone were significantly correlated to outcome. There was also a statistically significant correlation when these parameters in combination were related to outcome. However, the clinical value of the combined use of GCS score trend and reflexes was only slightly greater than the use of GCS score trend alone.

Proteinuria following trauma.

Thirteen trauma patients admitted to a major injuries unit were classified according to their injury severity. Urinary excretion of total protein, albumin and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) activity were assessed over the following 6 days. All patients showed an initial glomerular and tubular proteinuria during the first 24 h which subsided by the second post-trauma day. The excretion of total protein and albumin was positively correlated with injury severity. Those patients with the severest injuries showed a marked recurrent total proteinuria around days 3 to 4 post-trauma which exhibited features of a tubular lesion. The recurrent proteinuria peak coincided with peak levels of serum c-reactive protein (CRP).

Hereditary angioneurotic oedema.

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is characterised by episodic swelling of the extremities, face, larynx and recurrent abdominal pain, which can mimic the acute abdomen. Trauma of the larynx may result in acute airway obstruction. The management of emergency anaesthesia for Caesarean section of a patient with documented HAE is described and the special problems presented discussed. The methods of prophylaxis available are considered and the use of fresh frozen plasma advocated.
