ABSTRACT :

The paper outlines the modeling approach aimed at measuring and managing the injury severity of Head injury patients. Severe head injury management in the intensive care unit is extremely challenging due to the complex domain, the uncertain intervention efficacies and the time-critical setting. Expert system was adopted to automate the management process. This Paper examines the feasibility and effectiveness of an expert system-an innovative tool in managing the head injury patients. Those factors, which were found to be statistically significant by the application of various sophisticated multivariate statistical models such as Log-linear, Logistic regression, Survival analysis using SPSS package and important clinical factors based on the opinion of the Neurosurgeon an Expert system MHIP (Management of Head Injury Patients) has been developed with the help of Visual basic, to provide the clinician a prognostic guideline on severe head injury patients for priority care. The cumulative effect of the immediate and indirect effects of head injury is usually devastating, not just for the victim, but also for his or her family. Accident at the productive age is a total loss to the family, society and nation at large and it leads to the loss of active life and manpower. Fast and aggressive treatment is therefore essential for increasing the chances of a good outcome.

Key words: Severe head injury, Glasgow Comma Scale (GCS), Intra Cranial Pressure (ICP), Expert system, Artificial Intelligence, Prognostic guideline, Priority care and treatment.
