Traumatic Brain Injury Journal Club | Neurosurgery Course | May 9, 2023

Now that we’ve covered the basics of traumatic brain injury and its treatment, we will dive into the literature to explore how research is advancing the approach to cranial trauma. In this discussion led by Dr. Alex Valadka and our student presenters, we cover 3 important articles regarding the neurosurgical management of traumatic brain injury:

Chesnut RM, Temkin N, Carney N, et al. A trial of intracranial-pressure monitoring in traumatic brain injury. N Engl J Med. 2012;367(26):2471-2481.

CRASH-3 trial collaborators. Effects of tranexamic acid on death, disability, vascular occlusive events and other morbidities in patients with acute traumatic brain injury (CRASH-3): a randomised, placebo-controlled trial. Lancet. 2019;394(10210):1713-1723.

Cooper DJ, Rosenfeld JV, Murray L, et al. Decompressive craniectomy in diffuse traumatic brain injury. N Engl J Med. 2011;364(16):1493-1502.
