Management of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Manage episode 126500072 series 179525
Traumatic brain injury (closed head trauma) is relatively common in dogs and especially cats, often following motor vehicle collision. A rational approach to management is essential to try and maximise the chances of a successful outcome.
In this episode of the podcast I discuss traumatic brain injury focusing on key aspects of management and touching on some potentially contentious issues. Areas covered include:
- The need to prioritise potentially life-threatening problems that may be extra-cranial
- Primary (already happened) versus secondary (aim to minimise) brain injury
- Ensuring adequate oxygenation and ventilation
- Ensuring adequate cerebral perfusion
- Addressing raised intracranial pressure including hypertonic saline vs. mannitol; furosemide?
- The importance of analgesia
- Steroids?
- Relevance of hyperglycaemia?
- Prognostication
