Key Points

The aim is to explore gastrointestinal dysfunction following traumatic brain injury and identify effective interventions.
Reviewed existing literature on gastrointestinal issues post-TBI.
Emphasized early recognition of gastrointestinal dysfunction.
Outlined the role of nutritional support and multidisciplinary consultation.
Considered the use of prokinetic medications and autonomic nervous system modulators.
Post-TBI gastrointestinal dysfunction is common and can lead to further health complications.
Early interventions are shown to potentially improve feeding tolerance and reduce malnutrition.
Using specific medications may enhance gastrointestinal motility in affected patients.

Implication

Examines gastrointestinal dysfunction in traumatic brain injury, suggesting interventions to improve outcomes.
