METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF INFECTIOUS COMPLICATIONS AND SEPSIS IN PATIENTS WITH A SEVERE TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC A61B5/00 G01N33/48 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine and namely to diagnosis. It can be used to predict the development of infectious complications and sepsis in patients with a severe traumatic brain injury. To do this, it's necessary to determine the level of presepsin if the changes in the hippocampus and the development of the dislocation syndrome are detected in the early stages within 12-24 hours after a patient sustains a traumatic brain injury. If its threshold value of 300 pg/ml is exceeded, the development of infectious complications and sepsis in patients with a severe traumatic brain injury is predicted, followed by early pre-emptive intensive therapy aimed at correcting the infectious systemic inflammatory response.

EFFECT: invention accelerates the delivery of pre-emptive intensive therapy as a result of early diagnosis of the development of infectious complications and sepsis in patients with a severe traumatic brain injury and is characterized by reliability.
