Synopsis

Traumatic Brain Injury provides practical, neurological guidance to the diagnosis and management of patients who suffer from traumatic brain injury.

Taking a “patient journey” in traumatic brain injury, from prehospital management to the emergency department, into rehabilitation and finally reemergence in the community, it demonstrates how neurologists can facilitate recovery at all points along the way. It provides guidelines and algorithms to help support patients with brain injury within trauma centers, in posttraumatic care following discharge, and with mild traumatic brain injury not requiring immediate hospitalization.

From an international team of expert editors and contributors, Traumatic Brain Injury is a valuable resource for neurologists, trainee neurologists, and others working with patients with traumatic brain injury.
