GUIDELINES for the Management of SevereTraumatic BRAIN Injury, Fourth EditionThe scope and purpose of this work is 2-fold: to synthesize the available evidence andto translate it into recommendations. This document provides recommendations onlywhen there is evidence to support them. As such, they do not constitute a completeprotocol for clinical use. Our intention is that these recommendations be used byothers to develop treatment protocols, which necessarily need to incorporate con-sensus and clinical judgment in areas where current evidence is lacking or insuffi-cient. We think it is important to have evidence-based recommendations to clarifywhat aspects of practice currently can and cannot be supported by evidence, toencourage use of evidence-based treatments that exist, and to encourage creativityin treatment and research in areas where evidence does not exist.
