PURPOSE

These guidelines are intended to provide a basic management approach after a potentially concussive event using the specific whole blood (WB) biomarkers for traumatic brain injury (TBI) on the iSTAT Alinity. This guidance does not apply to other brain injury devices or TBI biomarkers. This CPG is intended to complement and build upon the existing DoD Instruction (DoDI) 6490.11 DoD Policy Guidance for Management of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury/Concussion in the Deployed Setting.
