Overview

Supports disconnection theory in dysautonomic TBI; hypothesis-generating, should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Does severe traumatic brain injury with dysautonomia alter heart rate variability parameters compared to TBI without dysautonomia and healthy controls?

P
Population
32 subjects: 16 with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) (8 with dysautonomia, 8 without dysautonomia) and 16 age-matched non-injured controls.
I
Intervention
Continuous electrocardiograph recordings for heart rate variability (HRV) analysis.
C
Comparator
Non-injured controls and TBI subjects without dysautonomia.
O
Outcome
Heart rate variability (HRV) parameters.surrogate

Severe TBI with dysautonomia is associated with prolonged uncoupling of heart rate and autonomic balance, supporting the disconnection theory of dysautonomia.
