Abstract

As soon as their prehospital care begins, patients with a serious head injury are given intensive care to offset the systemic failures observed and minimise secondary brain damage. In intensive care, monitoring is continuous and neuroprotection optimised. While the prognosis of the patient remains uncertain, their family are included and involved in their global care.

Keywords: Glasgow score; agression cérébrale secondaire d’origine systémique; head trauma; intensive care; monitoring; réanimation; score de Glasgow; surveillance; systemic secondary brain damage; traumatisme crânien.
