Enhanced oxidative stress in iNOS-deficient mice after traumatic brain injury: support for a neuroprotective role of iNOS. Cerebral metabolism (as reflected by cerebral oxygen and glucose consumption) and cerebral energy state (as reflected by tissue concentrations of phosphocreatine and ATP or indirectly by the lactate/pyruvate ratio) are frequently reduced after TBI and present with considerable temporal and spatial heterogeneity. Impaired cerebral mitochondrial function after traumatic brain injury in humans. Traumatic Brain Injury / Concussion. An object that penetrates brain tissue, such as a bullet or shattered piece of skull, also can cause traumatic brain injury.Mild traumatic brain injury may affect your brain cells temporarily. Regional cerebrovascular and metabolic effects of hyperventilation after severe traumatic brain injury. Translocation of phosphatidylserine initiates discrete but progressive membrane disintegration along with lysis of nuclear membranes, chromatine condensation, and DNA-fragmentation. This ‘ischaemia-like’ pattern leads to accumulation of lactic acid due to anaerobic glycolysis, increased membrane permeability, and consecutive oedema formation. Traumatic brain injury usually results from a violent blow or jolt to the head or body. In response to these inflammatory processes, injured and adjacent tissue (based on ‘spreading depressions’) will be eliminated and within hours, days, and weeks astrocytes produce microfilaments and neutropines ultimately to synthesize scar tissue.21 Proinflammatory enzymes such as tumour necrosis factor, interleukin-1-ß, and interleukin-6 are upregulated within hours from injury. The second stage of the pathophysiological cascade is characterized by terminal membrane depolarization along with excessive release of excitatory neurotransmitters (i.e. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of death of young people in the developed world. CHAPTER 331 Clinical Pathophysiology of Traumatic Brain Injury Kiarash Shahlaie, Marike Zwienenberg-Lee, J. Paul Muizelaar The initial mechanical insult of traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in tissue deformation that causes damage to neurons, glia, axons, and blood vessels. Brain function may be immediately impaired by direct damage (eg, crush, laceration) of brain tissue. Pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury Slideshare uses cookies to improve functionality and performance, and to provide you with relevant advertising. Likewise, both patterns are the basis for the management of cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and ICP and impairment of these regulatory mechanisms reflect increased risk for secondary brain damage. A schematic view of the pathophysiology of secondary cerebral damage after traumatic brain injury that supports the concept of optimizing cerebral blood flow, the delivery of oxygen and the adequate supply of energy substrates. Traumatic Brain Injury: Outcome and Pathophysiology . After TBI, CBF autoregulation (i.e. cerebrovascular constriction or dilation in response to increases or decreases in CPP) is impaired or abolished in most patients. The first stages of cerebral injury after TBI are characterized by direct tissue damage and impaired regulation of CBF and metabolism. With an estimated global incidence of 106 per 100,000 people, TBI is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide [1–3]. Is high extracellular glutamate the key to excitotoxicity in traumatic brain injury?. Cholinergic modulation of cerebral cortical blood flow changes induced by trauma. Traumatic brain injury can happen when a sudden, violent blow or jolt to the head results in damage to the brain. Understanding the multidimensional cascade of injury offers therapeutic options including the management of CPP, mechanical (hyper-) ventilation, kinetic therapy to improve oxygenation and to reduce ICP, and pharmacological intervention to reduce excitotoxicity and ICP. The temporal profile and extent of hypoperfusion with post-traumatic vasospasm differs from vasospasm occurring after aneurysmal subarachnoidal haemorrhage. Cerebrovascular autoregulation and CO2-reactivity are important mechanisms to provide adequate CBF at any time. Cortical spreading depression and peri-infarct depolarization in acutely injured human cerebral cortex. If you continue browsing the site, you agree to the use of cookies on this website. The clinical relevance of apoptosis relates to the delayed onset of cellular deterioration, potentially offering a more realistic window of opportunity for therapeutic (anti-apoptotic) interventions. Likewise, very small particles derived from condensed intracellular material (‘apoptotic bodies’) are removed from the shrinking cell by excytotic mechanisms. These injuries can result in long-term complications or death. These processes induce chemokines and adhesion molecules and in turn mobilize immune and glial cells in a parallel and synergistic fashion.38,53 For example, activated polymorphonuclear leucocytes adhere to defective but also intact endothelial cell layers as mediated through adhesion molecules. Numerous experimental and clinical analyses of biomechanical injury and tissue damage have expanded the knowledge of pathophysiologi- Pathophysiology of cerebral ischemia and brain trauma: similarities and differences. Anosmia: Common; probably caused by the shearing of the olfactory nerves at the cribriform plate[3] 3. Carbon dioxide reactivity, pressure autoregulation, and metabolic suppression reactivity after head injury: a transcranial Doppler study. [5] Diagnosis is suspected clinically and confirmed by imaging (primarily CT). Cerebral vasomotor paralysis produced by intracranial hypertension. It is influenced by changes in cerebral blood flow (hypo- and hyperperfusion), impairment of cerebrovascular autoregulation, cerebral metabolic dysfunction and inadequate cerebral oxygenation. Numerous experimental and clinical analyses of biomechanical injury and tissue damage have expanded the knowledge of pathophysiological events which potentially serves as the basis to define new or refine established treatment strategies.

As the primary insult, which represents the direct mechanical damage, cannot be therapeutically influenced, target of the treatment is the limitation of the secondary damage (delayed non-mechanical damage). All rights reserved. General pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury. This review consolidates the current pathophysiological view of TBI predominantly derived from clinical work with particular emphasis on cerebral blood flow (CBF) and metabolism, cerebral oxygenation, excitotoxicity, oedema formation, and inflammatory processes. The mechanisms by which vasospasm occurs include chronic depolarization of vascular smooth muscle due to reduced potassium channel activity,61 release of endothelin along with reduced availability of nitric oxide,75 cyclic GMP depletion of vascular smooth muscle,67 potentiation of prostaglandin-induced vasoconstriction,1 and free radical formation.16,45, Cerebral metabolism (as reflected by cerebral oxygen and glucose consumption) and cerebral energy state (as reflected by tissue concentrations of phosphocreatine and ATP or indirectly by the lactate/pyruvate ratio) are frequently reduced after TBI and present with considerable temporal and spatial heterogeneity.15,12,18,23 The degree of metabolic failure relates to the severity of the primary insult, and outcome is worse in patients with lower metabolic rates compared with those with minor or no metabolic dysfunction.72 The reduction in post-traumatic cerebral metabolism relates to the immediate (primary) insult leading to mitochondrial dysfunction with reduced respiratory rates and ATP-production, a reduced availability of the nicotinic co-enzyme pool, and intramitochondrial Ca2+-overload.66,70 However, the use of hyperoxia in an attempt to correct for metabolic failure produces inconsistent results.39,47 Interestingly, decreases in cerebral metabolic demand may15 or may not be associated with matching decreases in CBF.12,18 The latter reflects uncoupling of CBF and metabolism, probably due to increased adenosine availability.1254. Asymmetry of pressure autoregulation after traumatic brain injury. Traumatic injury to the immature brain: inflammation, oxidative injury, and iron-mediated damage as potential therapeutic targets. As an alternative pathophysiological event, hypermetabolism of glucose may occur.4,9 This is driven by transient but massive transmembrane ionic fluxes with consecutive neuroexcitation that are not adequately met by (concomitant) increases in CBF. superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase) induces peroxidation of cellular and vascular structures, protein oxidation, cleavage of DNA, and inhibition of the mitochondrial electron transport chain.3,11,60 Although these mechanisms are adequate to contribute to immediate cell death, inflammatory processes and early or late apoptotic programmes are induced by oxidative stress.11, Oedema formation frequently occurs after TBI. Doctors usually need to assess the situation quickly. Reduced mortality rate in patients with severe traumatic brain injury treated with brain tissue oxygen monitoring. Two different types of cell death may occur after TBI: necrosis and apoptosis (programmed cell death). Pathophysiology. The majority (75–80%) of all TBI cases are mild in nature and are accompanied by the rapid resolution of the immediate symptoms, including disorientation, dizziness, nausea, and balance problems (Table 1) [4]. vessel distortion) as a result of mechanical displacement, hypotension in the presence of autoregulatory failure,46,55 inadequate availability of nitric oxide or cholinergic neurotransmitters,16,59 and potentiation of prostaglandin-induced vasoconstriction.1, Patients with TBI may develop cerebral hyperperfusion (CBF >55 ml 100 g−1 min−1) in the early stages of injury. Understanding the multidimensional cascade of secondary brain injury offers differentiated therapeutic options. cerebrovascular constriction or dilation in response to hypo- or hypercapnia) seems to be a more robust phenomenon. Translocation of phosphatidylserine initiates discrete but progressive membrane disintegration along with lysis of nuclear membranes, chromatine condensation, and DNA-fragmentation. Consecutive activation and deactivation of caspases, which represent specific proteases of the interleukin‐converting enzyme family, have been idientified as the most important mediators of programmed cell death. Together, these events lead to membrane degradation of vascular and cellular structures and ultimately necrotic or programmed cell death (apoptosis). Defective CBF autoregulation may be present immediately after trauma or may develop over time, and is transient or persistent in nature irrespective of the presence of mild, moderate, or severe damage. Focus on outcome from traumatic brain njury . From 2006 to 2014, the number of TBI-related emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and deaths increased by 53%. TBI is primarily and secondarily associated with a massive release of excitatory amino acid neurotransmitters, particularly glutamate. Also, autoregulatory vasoconstriction seems to be more resistant compared with autoregulatory vasodilation which indicates that patients are more sensitive to damage from low rather than high CPPs.16, Compared with CBF autoregulation, cerebrovascular CO2-reactivity (i.e. The role of inflammation in CNS injury and disease. CDC defines a traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a disruption in the normal function of the brain that can be caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or penetrating head injury. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than five million people die each year from traumatic injuries worldwide.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) of any sort can … Tissue oxygen reactivity and cerebral autoregulation after severe traumatic brain injury. Studies in laboratory animals and humans have investigated the effects of TBI on CBF. Klinik für Anästhesiologie, der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Langenbeckstrasse 1, D-55131 Mainz, Germany. Traumatic brain injury (TBI), a form of acquired brain injury, occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is graded as follows: • Mild GCS 14-15 • Moderate GCS 9 -13 • Severe GCS 8 and below Abnormal postresuscitation pupillary reactivity: Corre… Continuous monitoring of the microcirculation in neurocritical care: an update on brain tissue oxygenation. Incidence and mechanisms of cerebral ischemia in early clinical head injury. However, apoptosis becomes evident hours or days after the primary insult. Cerebral ischaemia and intracranial hypertension refer to secondary insults and, in treatment terms, these types of injury are sensitive to therapeutic interventions. TBI can be classified based on severity (ranging from mild traumatic brain injury [mTBI/concussion] to severe traumatic brain injury), mechanism ( closed or penetrating head injury ), or other features (e.g., occurring in a specific location or over a widespread area). Impairment in biochemical level of arterial dilative capability of a cyclic nucleotides-dependent pathway by induced vasospasm in the canine basilar artery. In 2014, an average of 155 people in the United States died each day from injuries that include a TBI.1 Those who survive a TBI can face effects that last a few days, or the rest of their lives.

Influence of apoptosis on neurological outcome following traumatic cerebral contusion. Both cerebral ischaemia and hyperaemia refer to a mismatch between CBF and cerebral metabolism. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a traumatic event causes the brain to move rapidly within the skull, leading to damage. The nature of apoptosis generally requires energy supply and imbalance between naturally occurring pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins. Using 133Xe scintillation detection, 133Xe computed tomography (CT), stable xenon CT, or 15O2 positron emission CT to assess CBF within a temporal range from ultra-early to late stages after TBI, many investigations have revealed that focal or global cerebral ischaemia occurs frequently.6,13,26,52 Although the total ischaemic brain volume may be less than 10% on average,6,14,69 the presence of cerebral ischaemia is associated with poor ultimate neurological outcome, that is, dead or vegetative state.6,26,52 The frequent association between cerebral hypoperfusion and poor outcome suggests that TBI and ischaemic stroke share the same fundamental mechanisms. The knowledge of the pathophysiology after traumatic head injury is necessary for adequate and patient-oriented treatment. TBI combines mechanical stress to brain tissue with an imbalance between CBF and metabolism, excitotoxicity, oedema formation, and inflammatory and apoptotic processes.

The first stages of cerebral injury after TBI are characterized by direct tissue damage and impaired regulation of CBF and metabolism. Traumatic brain injury is a major source of death and disability worldwide. The excessive production of reactive oxygen species due to excitotoxicity and exhaustion of the endogenous antioxidant system (e.g. C. Werner, K. Engelhard, Pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury, BJA: British Journal of Anaesthesia, Volume 99, Issue 1, July 2007, Pages 4–9, https://doi.org/10.1093/bja/aem131. It furthers the University's objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide, This PDF is available to Subscribers Only. Additionally, activation of caspases (ICE-like proteins), translocases, and endonucleases initiates progressive structural changes of biological membranes and the nucleosomal DNA (DNA fragmentation and inhibition of DNA repair). Posttraumatic vasospasm: the epidemiology, severity, and time course of an underestimated phenomenon: a prospective study performed in 229 patients. About 150 Americans die from TBI-related injuries each day. Both primary and secondary insults activate the release of cellular mediators including proinflammatory cytokines, prostaglandins, free radicals, and complement. This type of flow-metabolism uncoupling supports the evolution of secondary ischaemic insults. Cerebral autoregulation following minor head injury. A traumatic brain injury can be caused by a forceful shock or blow to the head. The second stage of the pathophysiological cascade is characterized by terminal membrane depolarization along with excessive release of excitatory neurotransmitters (i.e. Understanding the multidimensional cascade of injury offers therapeutic options including the management of CPP, mechanical (hyper-) ventilation, kinetic therapy to improve oxygenation and to reduce ICP, and pharmacological intervention to reduce excitotoxicity and ICP.

The progression of tissue damage relates to direct release of neurotoxic mediators or indirectly to the release of nitric oxide and cytokines. Disintegration of the cerebral vascular endothelial wall allows for uncontrolled ion and protein transfer from the intravascular to the extracellular (interstitial) brain compartments with ensuring water accumulation. Likewise, hyperaemia may follow immediate post-traumatic ischaemia.30,34,43,57 This pathology seems as detrimental as ischaemia in terms of outcome because increases in CBF beyond matching metabolic demand relate to vasoparalysis with consecutive increases in cerebral blood volume and in turn intracranial pressure (ICP).31. The knowledge of the pathophysiology after traumatic head injury is necessary for adequate and patient-oriented treatment. The current classification of brain oedema relates to the structural damage or water and osmotic imbalance induced by the primary or secondary injury. Necrosis occurs in response to severe mechanical or ischaemic/hypoxic tissue damage with excessive release of excitatory amino acid neurotransmitters and metabolic failure. Consecutive activation and deactivation of caspases, which represent specific proteases of the interleukin‐converting enzyme family, have been idientified as the most important mediators of programmed cell death.10,19, The clinical relevance of apoptosis relates to the delayed onset of cellular deterioration, potentially offering a more realistic window of opportunity for therapeutic (anti-apoptotic) interventions.48,69, TBI combines mechanical stress to brain tissue with an imbalance between CBF and metabolism, excitotoxicity, oedema formation, and inflammatory and apoptotic processes. Since the anaerobic metabolism is inadequate to maintain cellular energy states, the ATP-stores deplete and failure of energy-dependent membrane ion pumps occurs. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is an injury to the brain caused by a trauma to the head (head injury). The first stages of cerebral injury after TBI are characterized by direct tissue damage and impaired regulation of CBF and metabolism. Focal cerebral hyperemia after focal head injury in humans: a benign phenomenon? Neuropathological sequelae of traumatic brain injury: relationship to neurochemical and biochemical mechanisms. However, oxygen deprivation of the brain with consecutive secondary brain damage may occur even in the presence of normal CPP or ICP.65 In line with this, clinical protocols integrating the parameter of brain tissue oxygen pressure into management algorithms guided by ICP or CPP added important knowledge about the interaction between oxygen delivery and oxygen demand and demonstrated improved outcome from TBI when individualizing treatment based on critical brain tissue oxygenation.27,33,35,47,63, TBI is primarily and secondarily associated with a massive release of excitatory amino acid neurotransmitters, particularly glutamate.8,54 This excess in extracellular glutamate availability affects neurons and astrocytes and results in over-stimulation of ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors with consecutive Ca2+, Na+, and K+-fluxes.22,73 Although these events trigger catabolic processes including blood–brain barrier breakdown, the cellular attempt to compensate for ionic gradients increases Na+/K+-ATPase activity and in turn metabolic demand, creating a vicious circle of flow–metabolism uncoupling to the cell.16,50, Oxidative stress relates to the generation of reactive oxygen species (oxygen free radicals and associated entities including superoxides, hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide, and peroxinitrite) in response to TBI.
