Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the contemporary management of all aspects of traumatic brain injury (TBI), combining the findings of several recent randomised controlled trials investigating the role of hypothermia, erythropoietin, intracranial pressure monitoring and decompressive craniectomy in the management of TBI. The book is divided into four sections: the first section covers the epidemiology of TBI, the changing global patterns of presentation, and the basic pathophysiology and classification, while the second discusses contemporary management of TBI, from pre-hospital care, emergency assessment, and medical and surgical management to rehabilitation and social reintegration. The third section then examines the evidence gained from recent clinical trials that have investigated the efficacy of management strategies involving intracranial pressure monitoring, multimodal monitoring, hypothermia, erythropoietin, thromboembolic prophylaxis and decompressive craniectomy. Lastly, the fourth section explores the ethical issues, both at the societal level and on an individual basis. Written by a broad range of experts, this book provides a valuable reference resource for neurosurgeons, intensivists, clinicians with ethical experience and pure bioethicists in their daily work.

This book was released on 2024-07-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains one of healthcare's most significant challenges and policy making. TBI could not only lead to long-term functional impairment but also a decrease in quality of life. Lowering the mortality risk and benefitting survivors' living quality remains the target of neurotrauma studies globally. With the advent of novel TBI-related clinical and basic research approaches, diagnostics, therapeutics research, and novel and multidisciplinary methods have emerged. Despite promising progress, no completely effective treatment prevents or minimizes TBI and its related neurological and psychiatric sequelae. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology, treatment progress, and clinically based translational and engineering research on TBI may pave the way for potential treatment targets, diagnostic markers, and preventive methods that ultimately lead to efficacious therapeutic strategies. This Research Topic aims to disseminate high-quality TBI and related research, especially for the compositive and in-depth study in integration, translation, and multidisciplinary approaches in TBI research, including new technology and research methods in clinical neurology, new findings in neuroendocrinology, neuropathology and new development in neuropharmacology, neurophysiology. This Research Topic is focused on novel developments, current challenges, future perspectives, and especially interdisciplinary research in the field of TBI.
