Summary
The critical care management of neurotrauma patients is very complex, requiring a strong knowledge base in both neurology and trauma surgery. This chapter is designed as a bridge for healthcare providers from different specialties, including residents and fellows, hospitalists, ICU physicians, and advanced practice providers seeing patients with neurotrauma in an intensive care unit setting, to be more familiar managing common issues encountered in this patient population. The chapter addresses core knowledge in trauma surgery, such as the ABCDE approach in trauma assessment, cervical spine management, hemorrhagic shock, the reversal of anticoagulants, chest tube management, abdominal and extremity compartment syndrome, and burn. The chapter also offers introductory comments about head injury, management of traumatic brain injury (TBI), intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and intracranial pressure (ICP).
