INTRODUCTION: Early aeromedical evacuation after traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been associated with worse neurologic outcomes in murine studies and military populations. The goal of this study was to determine if commonly utilized medications, including allopurinol, propranolol, or tranexamic acid (TXA), could mitigate the secondary traumatic brain injury experienced during the hypobaric and hypoxic environment of aeromedical evacuation.
METHODS: Porcine TBI was induced via controlled cortical injury. Twenty nonsurvival pigs were separated into four groups (n = 5 each): TBI+25 mL normal saline (NS), TBI+4 mg propranolol, TBI+100 mg allopurinol, and TBI+1g TXA. The pigs then underwent simulated AE to an altitude of 8000 ft for 4 h with an SpO2 of 82-85% and were sacrificed 4 h later. Hemodynamics, serum cytokines, and hippocampal p-tau accumulation were assessed. An additional survival cohort was partially completed with TBI/NS (n = 5), TBI/propranolol (n = 2) and TBI/allopurinol groups (n = 2) survived to postinjury day 7.
RESULTS: There were no significant differences in hemodynamics, tissue oxygenation, cerebral blood flow, or physiologic markers between treatment groups and saline controls. Transient differences in IL-1b and IL-6 were noted but did not persist. Neurological Severity Score (NSS) was significantly lower in the TBI + allopurinol group on POD one compared to NS and propranolol groups. P-tau accumulation was decreased in the nonsurvival animals treated with allopurinol and TXA compared to the TBI/NS group.
CONCLUSIONS: Allopurinol, propranolol, and TXA, following TBI, do not induce adverse changes in systemic or cerebral hemodynamics during or after a simulated postinjury flight. While transient changes were noted in systemic cytokines and p-tau accumulation, further investigation will be needed to determine any persistent neurological effects of injury, flight, and pharmacologic treatment.
