Criteria for transferring head injured patients to a regional neurosurgical unit were changed to enable a larger proportion of patients admitted to primary surgical wards to have a CT scan. The yearly number of transfers doubled, more intracranial haematomas were detected, and mortality from this complication was reduced. To operate such a policy requires seven neurosurgical beds per million for head injuries, given the Glasgow practice of early return of patients to primary surgical wards.
将头部受伤患者转至地区神经外科病房的标准发生了变化,以使更多入住初级外科病房的患者能够进行CT扫描。每年的转院人数增加了一倍,发现了更多的颅内血肿,并且这种并发症导致的死亡率降低了。鉴于格拉斯哥将患者早期转回初级外科病房的做法,实施这样一项政策每百万人口需要七张神经外科病床。
