Traumatic brain injury remains a worldwide problem. Newer modalities in the management of such injuries include both drugs and therapeutic strategies. Continuing research in animal models has provided a better understanding of the pathophysiological processes that follow head injury, and this in turn has enabled workers to work on improved treatment targets. Although there are exciting and novel approaches emerging, there is no substitute for meticulous initial resuscitation. Additionally, some of the more well known management options are now better understood. These concepts are discussed in the article.
创伤性脑损伤仍然是一个全球性问题。此类损伤管理中的新方法包括药物和治疗策略。对动物模型的持续研究使人们对头部受伤后的病理生理过程有了更好的理解,这反过来又使研究人员能够致力于改进治疗靶点。尽管出现了一些令人兴奋的新方法,但精心的初始复苏是无可替代的。此外,现在对一些更为知名的管理选项有了更好的理解。本文将讨论这些概念。
