The Value Of Serum Bnp For Dıagnosıs Of Intracranıal Inury In Head Trauma

Objectives Head injuries are the leading cause of death in persons less than 45 years old. In order to diagnose these patients, cranial computed tomography (CT) is used. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) was isolated first from the cerebral ventricles. The aim of this study was to research whether bedside BNP measurement has a place in determining intracranial injury in patients admitted to the emergency department (ED) with head trauma.
