MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY UPDATE

Treatment for mild TBI are rather diverse, and early intervention is the key to maximizing outcomes following a TBI, and topics and more will be discussed throughout this article.

Traumatic Brain Injury: Current Management, Controversies, and Clinical Trials

O Ongoing and future trials in TBI should be conducted using the best possible methodologies to avoid the clinical futility found in past trials of promising therapies.

Moderate and Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

This article reviews TBI in neurocritical care, hence focusing on moderate and severe TBI, and includes an up-to-date review of the many variables to be considered in clinical care.

Recent Advances and Future Trends in Traumatic Brain Injury

Scientific understanding of the problem in its various dimensions, complexities and controversies regarding diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, outcome and impact of TBIs on rapidly transforming societies, challenges and opportunities in research and linking research to practice are addressed.

Traumatic brain injury: an evidence-based review of management

Almost one-third of patients who die after a TBI will talk or obey commands before their death, and factors such as hypoxia, hypotension, and alcohol intoxication can all affect GCS, leading to diagnostic confusion.

Biomarkers of Traumatic Brain Injury in the Geriatric Population

This review highlights some of the latest technology that may pave the way for advanced diagnostic and treatment modalities in TBI management and identifies specific markers of brain cell damage that may offer insight to the nature and progression of injury.

End Points of Traumatic Brain Injury Resuscitation

The role of clinical assessment, as such the Glasgow Coma Scale and the Full Outline of UnResponsiveness Score, neuroimaging, including computed tomography and MRI, and current research innovations, such as the biomarkers, to predict TBI outcomes are discussed.

Traumatic brain injury in humans and animal models

The genetic polymorphisms of BDNF predict general intelligence following penetrating TBI, and the importance of categorizing the different types of TBI is shown, not only through the use of animal models but also in the clinical setting.

Rodent Models of Traumatic Brain Injury: Methods and Challenges.

In this chapter, the methods, limitations, and challenges of the CCI and FPI models of TBI used in rodents are described.

Clinical trials in head injury.

The pathomechanisms of traumatic brain damage, based upon their clinical importance, are discussed and a uniform strategic approach for evaluation of potentially interesting new compounds in clinical trials, to ameliorate outcome in patients with severe head injury, is proposed.

Prognosis and clinical trial design in traumatic brain injury: the IMPACT study.

The IMPACT database on TBI is created through merging individual patient data from eight RCTs and three observational surveys, and it is hypothesized that the statistical power of TBI trials may be increased by adjusting for heterogeneity with covariate adjustment and/or prognostic targeting.

The European Brain Injury Consortium Survey of Head Injuries

Comparisons of the data from different parts of Europe showed substantial similarities and also differences that may reflect variations in policy for admission of the head injury to `neuro' units, and evolution in methods of assessment, investigation and management.

Guidelines for the acute medical management of severe traumatic brain injury in infants, children, and adolescents.

The goal with this document was to assimilate the scarce data that exist and present it within an evidencebased framework in order to provide treatment guidelines.

Epidemiology of traumatic brain injury in South Australia.

It was apparent that hospitals in this state care for more than 4000 new cases of TBI each year and that, on discharge, over 1000 of these will have some degree of residual impairment and will therefore require some form of post-injury services.

Coagulation disorders after traumatic brain injury

It is concluded that coagulopathy following traumatic brain injury is an important independent risk factor related to prognosis and routine determination of the coagulation status should therefore be performed in all patients withtraumatic brain injury.

Outcome of traumatic brain injuries in 1,508 patients: impact of prehospital care.

Results from the 1,508 patients treated in a single neurosurgical unit over an 8-year period show that outcome for the severely injured patients in the present study is more favorable than in other large series of TBI.

The role of surgery in traumatic brain injury

A surgical approach is frequent in posttraumatic intracranial hematomas in spite of a low level of evidence and one of the surgical options either in association with hematoma evacuation or in isolation is the technique of bone flap decompression.

Prognostic value of cause of injury in traumatic brain injury: results from the IMPACT study.

In a univariate analysis, a strong association between the cause of injury and long-term outcome in moderate to severe TBI patients was observed, with consistent results across the studies.

Reduced mortality rate in patients with severe traumatic brain injury treated with brain tissue oxygen monitoring.

The use of both ICP and brain tissue PO2 monitors and therapy directed at brain tissuePO2 is associated with reduced patient death following severe TBI.
