An estimated 60,000 patients with severe head injury reach the Emergency Department alive each year; 50% of these patients have significant elevations in intracranial pressure at or shortly after arrival. Aggressive emergency department management with particular attention to airway management, control of intracranial pressure, and proper use of radiographic studies is crucial to successful neurologic recovery.
据估计，每年有60000名重度颅脑损伤患者活着抵达急诊科；其中50%的患者在到达时或到达后不久颅内压显著升高。急诊科积极的管理，尤其要注意气道管理、颅内压控制以及影像学检查的正确使用，对于神经功能的成功恢复至关重要。
