Abstract
Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The critical care management of TBI requires a coordinated and comprehensive approach to treatment, including strategies to prevent secondary brain injury by avoidance of systemic physiological disturbances, such as hypotension, hypoxaemia, hypo- and hyperglycaemia and hyperthermia, and maintenance of adequate cerebral perfusion and oxygenation. Management protocols have evolved with international consensus, providing guidelines that assist clinicians in delivering optimal care. Those from the Brain Trauma Foundation are continuously updated to incorporate new trial data (https://braintrauma.org/coma/guidelines).
