Description
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in critical care. Optimal fluid and electrolyte management plays a crucial role in maintaining cerebral perfusion, preventing secondary brain injury, and controlling intracranial pressure. This CME session explored practical, evidence-based approaches to fluid selection, sodium balance, and electrolyte monitoring in patients with TBI, with a focus on improving clinical outcomes in the critical care setting.
Objectives
-To highlight the impact of Traumatic Brain Injury on patients and healthcare systems.
-To understand how the brain affects the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the development of cerebral oedema.
-To identify common electrolyte imbalances in TBI and appreciate the principles behind fluid selection and osmotic therapy for the injured brain.
-To describe haemodynamic goals and transfusion thresholds in TBI patients.
