Traumatic brain injury (TBI) demands rapid recognition and meticulous management. This episode explores primary and secondary brain injury, intracranial pressure dynamics, and the principles that guide early intervention.

We examine clinical assessment, Glasgow Coma Scale interpretation, imaging decisions, and airway management in the neurologically compromised patient. The episode also highlights the dangers of hypotension and hypoxia, and the importance of neuroprotection from the earliest moments.

This chapter reinforces that in head injury, what is prevented often matters more than what is treated.
