Abstract

Traumatic brain injury is a dynamic condition with varying severities, classifications, and periods. Treatments and interventions through these periods can dramatically affect its morbidity. Anesthesiologists have a unique opportunity to be involved in the care of traumatic brain injury patients from their admission, through the operative period, and into postoperative intensive care. In this article, we will review current treatment, standards for monitoring, and goals for resuscitation, both intraoperatively and postoperatively. Co-morbidities that affect resuscitation will also be discussed.
