Abstract:
Traumatic brain injury can occur very quickly, but the sequelae of the injury can be life ending or life altering. Aside from prevention, the primary injury cannot be controlled; however, health care workers can influence the amount of secondary injury to the brain. This article describes potential neuroprotective methods, such as cooling, craniectomy, and medications, to help to save the brain.
