SUMMARY:Managing Severe Traumatic Brain Injury in Varied Resource Settings
 : Insights from Latin America
DESCRIPTION:Breakout Session\n\nWalter Videtta (University of Buenos Aires
 , Hospital Municipal de Merlo)\n\nSevere traumatic brain (sTBI) injury is 
 a growing concern globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countri
 es where outcomes tend to be poorer compared to high-income countries. Whi
 le there are global initiatives aimed at addressing the surgical burden of
  this condition, much of the clinical knowledge and evidence stems from we
 ll-resourced areas.  Nonetheless, disparities in sTBI management also exis
 t in high-income countries, particularly in rural areas where multimodalit
 y 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 c
 are.\n\nTrack: Clinical Practice\n\nFocus Area: Global Neurocritical Care,
  Ischemic Stroke, Multimodal Neuromonitoring (invasive/non-invasive), Nurs
 ing Pharmacology, Status Epilepticus, Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury\n\nTa
 rget Audience: Intermediate\n\nSession Chair: Tommy Thomas (Emory Universi
