Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To explore the cerebral protective effect of midazolam in patients with traumatic brain injury, we will collect blood samples from patients treated with or without midazolam when the patient is admitted to ICU, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after the admission before the use of midazolam for patients in group N1, and before the patient is treated with midazolam, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h after the use of midazolam for patients in group N2. Parameters of cerebral metabolism and inflammatory response will be obtained from the blood samples or the cerebrospinal fluid. With the aforementioned parameters, the relationship between clinical outcome and cerebral metabolism and inflammatory response will be detected with statistical method.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

N1(traditional treatment group)

Patients in group N1 are treated with basic therapeutic measures which include reducing intracranial pressure with mannitol, hemostasis, acid inhibition, anti-infection, nutrition support and control of blood glucose, blood pressure and body temprature.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

N2(midazolam group)

Patients in group N2 was treated with intravenous infusion of midazolam on the basis of basic treatment measures which include reducing intracranial pressure with mannitol, hemostasis, acid inhibition, anti-infection, nutrition support and control of blood glucose, blood pressure and body temprature.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Midazolam

Intervention Type DRUG

For patients allocated into group N2, 2 mg midazolam will be injected intravenously, and then it will be given at 0.05-0.1 mg/(kg·h) by intravenous infusion. If a surgery is needed, infusion of midazolam will begin 3 hours after the operation and continue for at least 72 hours. During the sedation with midazolam, BIS should be kept at 60 to 80.

Morphine can be used to supply adequate analgesia.
