Efficacy Study of Hydrocephalus Surgery by Methods of Neuroelectrophysiology

Efficacy Study of Shunt Operation in Patients With Disorder of Consciousness of Post-traumatic Hydrocephalus (PTH) by Methods of Neuroelectrophysiology

The symptoms of hydrocephalus containing consciousness condition with muscle tone in some patients will be relieved, after the cerebrospinal fluid release test is carried out. Neuroelectrophysiology in patients with disorders of consciousness of post-traumatic hydrocephalus (PTH) can establish the association with consciousness and muscle tone to a certain extent, and predict the shunt effect of PTH with disorders of consciousness.

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients with disorder of consciousness in traumatic brain injury. The presence of hydrocephalus through image examination.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients who cannot tolerate shunt surgery. Sedation maintained by greater than 0.15mg/kg/hour of midazolam or the infusion dose of propofol higher than 4mg/kg/hour.

Patients who are participating in drug research or other clinical trials.
