Traumatic brain injury in the intensive care unit: Literature review on patient profile

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a critical condition that affects many patients in ICUs due to its high incidence and severity, usually caused by traffic accidents, falls and assaults. The literature review highlights that the majority of patients are young men, with severe injuries often measured by the Glasgow Coma Score. The adoption of standardized protocols and multidisciplinary approaches in the ICU has been shown to improve clinical outcomes, reducing mortality and complications associated with TBI.
