EXPERIENCE OF USING A PORTABLE ECHOENCEPHALOGRAPH WITH A COMBINED CRANIOCRAIN INJURY

According to statistics at the beginning of 2019, traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most common type of injury and one of the main causes of disability in Russia. The main risk group are people, mostly men, aged 21-45 years. The consequences of injuries can be very different - from the banal headache characteristic of concussions, ending with complete disability in severe cases of TBI. The paper describes the clinical testing of the «SONOMED 315-R» echoencephalograph, produced by JSC “Spectromed”, as well as the feasibility of its implementation in the medical organizations of the Ministry of defense of Russia, given the high incidence of traumatic brain injuries and the actual lack of available to medical workers fast and accurate methods of diagnosis of dislocation syndrome. The device was used in the diagnosis of dislocation syndrome in 35 patients with combined traumatic brain injury and in 3 patients with brain tumors. Thus at victims with the combined trauma survey was carried out in various time intervals. This study reflects the current clinical and organizational promising directions to improve the results of treatment of the wounded (2 figs, 2 tables, bibliography: 14 refs).
