Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The level of blood cortisol levels. Timepoint: The first morning before and after the intervention. Method of measurement: Due to the patient's rights and the high cost of this trial, it was measured twice in only one intervention.Blood sampling was performed by the same collector of outcomes in the Same way. The blood samples were immediately sent to the laboratory of Shahid Rajaee Hospital in Shiraz and put in a centrifuge. The centrifuge was set for five minutes and thirty rounds. After centrifuging the samples, the serum was removed by blood sampling. Serum samples were kept at -20 ° C until the end of the study. At the end of sampling, patients' serum samples were transferred to another laboratory due to lack of laboratory facilities at Shahid Rajaee Hospital in Shiraz. And all patient serum samples in a laboratory were measured by one person using a device with identical kits.;The level of intracranial pressure. Timepoint: Before, during, and after the intervention twice daily for three days. Method of measurement: An S1800-ER monitoring device was used to measure intracerebroventricular pressure in patients with severe head trauma admitted to critical care units. It has TFT color display.Patient-related parameters were measured momentarily and updated. Intracerebral pressure was measured using a ventriculostomy implanted by a neurosurgeon within the patient's brain ventricle. Which, due to its aggressive procedure, was used only in patients who, according to their own medical needs, were diagnosed by a neurosurgeon in order to monitor intraocular pressure,The other end of the ventriculostomy was connected to the monitoring device by a transducer.;The level of consciousness. Timepoint: Before, during, and after the intervention twice daily for twelve days. Method of measurement: Using the Glasgow Coma Scale, the level of consciousness of patients with severe head injury was measured.;Blood pressure. Timepoint: Before, during, and after the intervention twice | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Level of consciousness, intracranial pressure level, blood cortisol level, vital signs. Timepoint: Before, during and after the intervention twice daily for two weeks. Method of measurement: Using the Glasgow Coma Scale, intracranial blood pressure transducer, cardiovascular monitoring device, blood sampling and sending to the laboratory. | — |
