Prehospital Postintubation Hypotension Strongly Linked to 30‑Day Mortality After Severe Traumatic Brain Injury — Especially in Isolated TBI

A multicenter cohort study of 555 patients with severe TBI who underwent prehospital rapid sequence induction found postintubation hypotension (SBP <90 mmHg within 10 minutes) in 19.1%, which was associated with higher 30‑day mortality (AOR 1.70). The association was markedly stronger in isolated TBI (AOR 13.55).
