Presentation
Managing Severe Traumatic Brain Injury in Varied Resource Settings: Insights from Latin America
DescriptionSevere traumatic brain (sTBI) injury is a growing concern globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where outcomes tend to be poorer compared to high-income countries. While there are global initiatives aimed at addressing the surgical burden of this condition, much of the clinical knowledge and evidence stems from well-resourced areas. Nonetheless, disparities in sTBI management also exist in high-income countries, particularly in rural areas where multimodality monitoring, an expensive practice, is limited. In this presentation, we will delve into our experiences and advancements in managing sTBI patients, with a focus on recommending improvements in organizational structures, infrastructure, and personnel training and education to optimize patient care.
