Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant health problem in the United States, and a frequent cause of disability in young individuals. The Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have heightened the public awareness of this condition and resulted in an increasing number of individuals presenting for treatment due to concern of a suspected TBI. In order to best manage the sequelae of TBI, providers must understand important prognostic factors which impact clinical outcome including injury severity and co-morbid conditions.
This presentation will provide a survey of the recent literature on clinical outcomes after TBI, pharmacological interventions for common post-injury sequelae, and the effects of co-occurring psychiatric conditions on post-concussive symptoms. This lecture will emphasis recent literature about individuals sustaining combat-related traumatic brain injuries, as well as clinical practice guidelines for management of TBI in the post-acute phase.
