Vibration Does Not Affect Short Term Outcomes Following Traumatic Brain Injury in a Porcine Model

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has become increasingly prevalent among the injuries sustained in the military. Many wounded warriors require emergency medical evacuation via helicopter and subsequently fixed wing transport. During aeromedical evacuation, both pilots and patients experience whole body vibration due to engine, rotor, and propeller rotation. The impact of posttraumatic vibration and hypoxia exposure characteristic of the aeromedical evacuation environment on TBI is currently unknown.
