ABSTRACT

Brain trauma (BT) incidence has increased in the last decades, particularly among people young and in productive age. Road traffic accidents and urban violence are risk factors for BT and its potentially catastrophic neurological consequences have prompted the search for better treatments. Furthermore, the anesthesiologist is often involved in providing care to these patients who have suffered BT and sometimes, additional traumas; this situation requires multidisciplinary surgical management. Clear knowledge of the physiopathology and appropriate anesthetic management may have a positive impact on the prognosis of these patients. A revision of the most appropriate anesthetic management for brain trauma patients using evidence-based interventions and drug treatments was carried out.
