Patients with acute brain injury are a distinct group within the ICU who may develop non-neurologic organ dysfunction in the absence of systemic injury or infection. This dysfunction may arise directly as a result of the brain injury or indirectly with complications of brain-specific therapies. This article reviews the current literature with respect to the incidence of organ dysfunction or failure and its association with outcome in patients with acute brain injury. Organ system-specific etiologic considerations and management are discussed.
急性脑损伤患者是重症监护病房（ICU）中的一个特殊群体，他们在没有全身性损伤或感染的情况下可能会出现非神经系统器官功能障碍。这种功能障碍可能直接由脑损伤引起，也可能间接由脑部特异性治疗的并发症导致。本文回顾了关于急性脑损伤患者器官功能障碍或衰竭的发生率及其与预后的关系的当前文献。还讨论了特定器官系统的病因学考量和管理。
