Abstract:
Traumatic brain injury results in more than 140,000 visits to North Carolina emergency departments annually. North Carolina first implemented a systematically organized approach to brain injury management in 1967, and the state's emergency medical services community continues to optimize patient care by incorporating evolving knowledge into protocols and procedures.
