Until five years ago, there was tremendous variability in the way brain injuries were managed at trauma centers. There were no clear guidelines describing what should be done during the initial evaluation, and no consensus as to when to involve neurosurgery.

It’s 3 a.m. on an overnight shift and the resuscitation room nurse runs over, “Hey doc, the patient in R3 is bradycardic and now his blood pressure is dropping”. You rush in, begin thinking through which medications to give and place pads on the patient. Luckily, he begins to stabilize with vasopressors and pacing. You review his labs again; he has worsening renal function and he’s mildly hyperkalemic to 5.7.
