RESUMEN

El traumatismo craneoencefálico severo es un problema grave de salud pública. Cada año, en el mundo, fallece un millón de personas a consecuencia de lesiones traumáticas cerebrales y un número igual de supervivientes queda con secuelas incapacitantes. Afortunadamente, hay perspectivas prometedoras respecto a la vigilancia y a las modalidades de manejo del cerebro traumatizado que permitirán disminuir la morbilidad y la mortalidad que genera. En este trabajo se revisan las estrategias de tratamiento actuales y futuras con base en las pruebas clínicas que ayuden al equipo médico implicado en la atención inicial de este padecimiento, a tomar decisiones acertadas y, con ello, a mejorar el pronóstico de estos individuos.
