Is There a Worse Outcome When the Systolic Blood Pressure is Lower Than Heart Rate in Those Adult Trauma Patients With Isolated Head/Neck Injury

Chang Gung Memorial Hospital1,216 enrolled

Overview

A systolic blood pressure (SBP) lower than the heart rate (HR) could indicate a poor condition in trauma patients. In such scenarios, the reversed shock index (RSI) is \<1, as calculated by the SBP divided by the HR. This study aimed to clarify whether RSI could be used to identify high-risk adult patients with isolated traumatic brain injury (TBI).
