Marijuana Use Associated with Lower Death Rates in Patients with TBI

Marijuana Use Associated with Lower Death Rates in Patients with TBI

LA BioMed researchers surveyed emergency patients tested for THC levels.

Surveying patients with traumatic brain injuries, a group of Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute (LA BioMed) researchers reported today that they found those who tested positive for THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, were more likely to survive than those who tested negative for the illicit substance.

The findings, published in the October edition of The American Surgeon, suggest THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, may help protect the brain in cases of traumatic brain injury, the researchers said. The study included 446 patients who suffered traumatic brain injuries and underwent a urine test for the presence of THC in their system. The researchers found 82 of the patients had THC in their system. Of those, only 2.4% died. Of the remaining patients who didn’t have THC in their system, 11.5% died.

“Previous studies conducted by other researchers had found certain compounds in marijuana helped protect the brain in animals after a trauma,” said David Plurad, MD, an LA BioMed researcher and the study’s lead author. “This study was one of the first in a clinical setting to specifically associate THC use as an independent predictor of survival after traumatic brain injury.”

The researchers noted that the timing of their study was “pertinent” because of current efforts to decriminalize marijuana and other research that has shown THC can increase appetite, reduce ocular pressure, decrease muscle spasms, relieve pain and alleviate symptoms associated with irritable bowel disease. But they noted that their study has some significant limitations.

“While most – but not all – the deaths in the study can be attributed to the traumatic brain injury itself, it appears that both groups were similarly injured,” Dr. Plurad said. “The similarities in the injuries between the two groups led to the conclusion that testing positive for THC in the system is associated with a decreased mortality in adult patients who have sustained traumatic brain injuries.”

Bom dia , passei por uma cirurgia no tibia depois de fratura , estou no pos operatorioem casa e colhi uma planta no inicio de floração bem magra com muitos pistilos e ja resinando ,meu pai disse que posso tem uma forte infecção e perde a perna pelo uso ,por favor pra me tranquilizar ou alertar algum conhecedor confirma? Obrigado

[togo]

Hahahahaha, explica pro seu pai q infecção é causada por bactérias, não por maconha. Até onde eu sei maconha ajuda no controle das dores no pós operatório, não conheço nenhuma contra indicação que possa fazer perder a perna

[sem-terra]

Cara, não há estudos indicando aumento do risco de infecção em pôs operatório com uso de cannabis.

Acho que uma planta imatura não lhe oferecerá todo o potencial que ela possui em termos de efeitos medicinais.

A nicotina está contra indicada em pôs operatório por atrasar a cicatrizacao, então use erva pura.

Abraço e boa recuperacao

Ja dei umas 2 cabeçadas no chão de passar mal, ficar com a cabeça doendo por 1 semana e com sensação de inchaço na cabeça(a primeira vez fui no dia seguinte ao médico e a palavra do "Doutor" foi que se não havia morrido até aquele momento, não iria morrer mais ... unimed isso).

Interessante saber que quem sabe oque me ajudou foi nosso querido banzinha.
