Traumatic Brain Injury Advances

Deborah M Stein et al. Crit Care Clin. 2017 Jan.

Abstract

There have been many recent advances in the management of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Research regarding established and novel therapies is ongoing. Future research must not only focus on development of new strategies but determine the long-term benefits or disadvantages of current strategies. In addition, the impact of these advances on varying severities of brain injury must not be ignored. It is hoped that future research strategies in TBI will prioritize large-scale trials using common data elements to develop large registries and databases, and leverage international collaborations.

Keywords: Antiseizure prophylaxis; Decompressive craniectomy; Hyperosmolar therapy; Intracranial pressure monitoring; Targeted temperature modulation; Traumatic brain injury.
