Key result
A machine learning model utilizing five heart rate variability parameters detected the presence of traumatic brain injury in the setting of hemorrhagic shock with 91.8% accuracy within the first hour.
Why the study?
In multi-organ system trauma, diagnosing coinciding traumatic brain injury is difficult because hemorrhagic shock injuries confound clinical and radiographic signs.
Does heart rate variability detect traumatic brain injury early in a porcine model of hemorrhagic shock?

Heart rate variability analysis in a porcine model demonstrates potential for early, non-invasive detection of traumatic brain injury during hemorrhagic shock.
Introduction: In patients with multi-organ system trauma, the diagnosis of coinciding traumatic brain injury can be difficult due to injuries from the hemorrhagic shock that confound clinical and radiographic signs of traumatic brain injury. In this study, a novel technique using heart rate variability was developed in a porcine model to detect traumatic brain injury early in the setting of hemorrhagic shock without the need for radiographic imaging or clinical exam.

Zhu et al. (2022) studied Traumatic Brain Injury and Hemorrhagic Shock (n=12). Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the setting of hemorrhagic shock vs. Hemorrhagic shock alone was evaluated on Accuracy of a machine learning model using heart rate variability parameters to detect TBI (p=<0.05). A machine learning model utilizing five heart rate variability parameters detected the presence of traumatic brain injury in the setting of hemorrhagic shock with 91.8% accuracy within the first hour.
