Management of Adult Traumatic Brain Injury: A Review

Abstract

Karl Janich, Ha S Nguyen, Mohit Patel, Saman Shabani, Andrew Montoure and Ninh Doan

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.
