General Management Considerations for MWDs with TBI

It is critical to ensure adequate resuscitation and management of cardiovascular and respiratory problems, as hypotension, poor tissue perfusion, and hypoxia lead to progressive brain injury due to the adverse effects of secondary neurological injury due to ischemia, cerebral edema, reperfusion injury, and so forth. (See Figure 48.)
