In this paper we analyzed the treatment results of 301 patients with severe traumatic brain injury (STBI), who were treated at intensive care unit of Ternopil University Hospital during 2013-2014. Microbiological research and evaluation of results were accomplished according to generally accepted principles, based on the Bergey’s classification. Results.

Among the intensive care unit patients with STBI, who had the surgery based on this pathological condition, sepsis developed in 23.9% of patients. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which complicated sepsis, was successfully cured in 73.3% of cases, by additional usage of traditional ventilation, kinesiotherapy, oxygen therapy and pulse therapy with glucocortisteroids (GS). 22.2% of patients obtained acute renal failure, 9.72% of patients were treated by implementing hemodialysis. Concomitant polytrauma was present in 23.9% of patients. Conclusions. Theusageof pulse therapy with glucocortisteroids additionally to traditional mechanical ventilation, kinesiotherapy, and oxygen therapy for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome helps to improve the life expectancy of patients.
