Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant
source of morbidity and mortality in the adult population. The management of
traumatic brain injury depends on its severity. It must be recognized that
almost all forms of treatment for TBI are geared towards the minimization of secondary
injury, as it is assumed that primary injury is irreversible.
The discussion here represents much of what is
known up-to-date concerning TBI management, but its treatment continues to
evolve once new mechanisms of injury are discovered and those that we know of
now are refined.
The treating staffs are encouraged to keep up
with the current state of the literature to stay informed.
