Brief summary

All the patients hospitalized in the neuro-rehabilitation after a severe acquired brain injury carrying a tracheal cannula will be retrospectively analyzed. Patients coming from emergency department started a rehabilitative treatment during their hospitalization in ICU. Patients transferred from an external ICU started the rehabilitation in neurorehabilitation department. Aim of the study is to evaluate if an early rehabilitation, started since the acute stage of the damage, is able to reduce the decannulation time in this group of patients.

Interventions

OTHERearly neurological rehabilitation

start of neurological rehabilitation between 3rd and 15th day after ABI

OTHERno-early neurological rehabilitation

start of neurological rehabilitation between 20th and 90th day after ABI
