Current Concepts and Advancements in Management of Traumatic Brain Injury; A Glimpse at the Recently Published Evidence
Journal Title: Bulletin of Emergency And Trauma - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in trauma associated injuries worldwide [1]. Although it has been well demonstrated that the epidemiology of the TBI is changing pattern from motor-vehicle accidents to the falls in the developed world [1, 2]; in developing countries, the road traffic accidents (RTAs) remain the main etiology of TBI [3, 4]. Albeit introduction of several surgical and pharmaceutical interventions in management of TBI [5-11], there has been no clear decrease in TBI-related mortality or improvement of overall outcome over the past two decades [12].
