Many thanks to Gregory Hawryluk, MD, for joining me on this episode of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner! Dr. Hawryluk is a neurosurgeon with a PhD in stem cell research. He is the Medical Director of the Brain Trauma Foundation.
As we began our 30-minute discussion, Dr. Hawryluk described his medical training as a neurosurgeon. He explained the origin and goals of the Brain Trauma Foundation.
According to Dr. Hawryluk, the Brain Trauma Foundation's most significant contribution has been developing clinical practice evidence-based guidelines for traumatic brain injury. These guidelines have been associated with a 50% reduction in head injury mortality. Dr. Hawryluk suggested that the guidelines serve as a basis for individualized care that may lead to even greater benefits. The guidelines are available on the Brain Trauma Foundation's website.
We explored the definition of concussion and current approaches to management. Dr. Hawryluk explained that neuroimaging, such as CT and MRI, should be normal in a patient with concussion. He offered his opinion regarding the safety of participating in contact sports, which may result in concussions. We also broached the subject of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
