Abstract
No single-treatment algorithm of TBI patients has been shown to be superior to another in a clinical randomized study. Clinical guidelines have been developed by ABIC (Bullock et al. 1996) with several updates, the last in 2007 (Brain Trauma Foundation et al. 2007) and EBIC (Maas et al. 1997) and the Lund therapy (Grände 2006). In addition, national guidelines such as the Danish (Welling et al. 2010) and single centre guidelines, such as the one from Addenbrooke (Menon 1999), have been published.
