Brain Trauma Guidelines for Emergency Medicine Update
In April 2023, the third edition of the Brain Trauma Foundation’s evidence-based guidelines for the prehospital management of traumatic brain injury (TBI) was published in Prehospital Emergency Care. The practice guidelines were written by a multi-disciplinary group of experts and went through an extensive peer review process. This document is an update of guidelines first published in 2000, and then updated in 2007. These guidelines present the best available evidence to support clinical decision making in the prehospital setting when TBI care may have the most significant impact on outcomes; they also establish a research agenda for future investigations.
