  Since the Glasgow Coma Scale was developed 40 years ago it has been accepted throughout the world as a method for assessing impaired consciousness. Fourty moderate TBI patients were simple randomly divided into 2 groups: group A take normal saline infusion without lidocaine as control group (N=20), and group B take normal saline with lidocaine at rate 1 mg/kg/BW infusion as treated groups (N=20). Serum samples were collected at before induction and 2 hours after giving infusion treatment to measure serum IL-6 and PLA2 level, and lidocaine serum concentration. GCS were measured before induction and after 24 hours surgery. Data were analyzed using analytic statistic with paired t test to measure serum IL-6, PLA2, & lidocaine serum level before induction and after 2 hours. The correlation of serum IL-6, PLA2 and GCS was measure with Separman correlation. A P value less than.. View More»
