Abstract

Objective: To analyze the efficacy of pre-hospital emergency measures implemented during the treatment of patients with traumatic brain injury resulting from motor vehicle collisions. Methods: Sixty patients with traumatic brain injury from road traffic accidents were randomly selected between February 2023 and August 2024. They were divided into two groups of 30 each: a control group receiving conventional emergency care and an observation group receiving pre-hospital emergency care. The efficacy of different treatment approaches was analyzed. Results: Comparison of outcomes between the observation and control groups revealed higher success rates and lower mortality rates in the observation group (p < 0.05). Compared to the control group, the observation group demonstrated shorter pre-hospital response times, admission times, transport times, and emergency treatment times (p < 0.05). Complication rates were lower in the observation group (6.67% vs 26.67%, p < 0.05). Conclusion: Implementing pre-hospital emergency care for patients with traumatic brain injury following road traffic accidents reduces overall emergency response time, improves resuscitation success rates, and decreases complication incidence.
