Abstract:
Head injury is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity at all ages and may develop into intracranial haemorrhage and increasing intracranial pressure. Pre-assessment must be conducted to head injury patients to decide the treatment plan. The aim of this study was to compare Revised Trauma Score (RTS) based on intracranial haemorrhage volume among head injury patients. This study was an analytic study with cross-sectional design where 31 patients were studied. The admission RTS and patients' status data were obtained from medical records at Dr. Abdul Aziz General Hospital, Singkawang, Indonesia and intracranial haemorrhage volume data were obtained from the head CT-scan. The data were analysed by Mann-Whitney U-test. The admission Revised Trauma Score rates were significantly different (95% CI, p=0.006) by intracranial haemorrhage volume which the RTS rate of less intracranial haemorrhage volume group was 11.40 ± 0.74 and the RTS rate of greater intracranial haemorrhage volume group was 10.13 ± 1.54. The greater intracranial haemorrhage volume showed the lower RTS value which means the worse physiological condition.

z Scores and Unusual Values
This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...
Muscles that Move the Head
The bilateral sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, and the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are significant head flexors. The SCM muscles originate at the sternum and clavicle and attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The SCM contracts bilaterally to bend the head forward, whereas...
