In this episode, Eric is joined by Kevin Collopy at Elevate 2022 to discuss his team's recent research on TBI and 3% hypertonic saline. The conversation quickly progressed to overall resuscitation in TBI, with a focus on decision-making in airway management, ICP management, herniation, and the secondary injuries that impact TBI patients. This is a must-listen, with many great discussion points.
Prehospital Hypertonic Saline Administration After Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Abstract
"A 25-year-old male patient was critically injured in a high-speed motor vehicle collision over an hour from the nearest trauma center. Paramedics diagnosed the patient with a traumatic brain injury and increased intracranial pressure and transported the patient to a predesignated landing zone for helicopter intercept. During transport, paramedics initiated a severe traumatic brain injury protocol which included the administration of 3% hypertonic saline."
