Abstract:
The critical care management of patients with traumatic brain injury is complex. The primary goal is to minimize the effects of secondary injury that would otherwise serve to further worsen neurologic function. This requires an understanding of the abnormal brain physiology that is found in these patients. In this article the authors discuss this physiology and describe suggested treatment strategies for these patients based on evidence-based guidelines.
