Overview

Retrospective audit of TBI management shows adherence to guidelines in trauma care, impacting patient outcomes.

Key Points

  • 30-day mortality was higher in older patients at 7.4%, compared to 2% in younger patients, indicating increased risk with age.
  • Among 203 TBI cases, common types included 39.0% subdural haematomas and 18.2% subarachnoid haemorrhages.
  • Retrospective review assessed management pathways and outcomes for trauma care from July 2023 to September 2024.
  • The audit supports the need for dedicated trauma beds due to patient diversity and adherence challenges.
