This week is Action for Brain Injury Awareness Week. Traumatic brain injury TBI is a common cause of death and injury affecting all ages. There are no therapies that can lessen the burden of the injury itself, and there has been little improvement in outcomes for decades. 1/2

🖌️Advancements in critical care over past 2 decades have been revolutionary: it was a challenge/privilege to ensure that ICM helped shape these developments. I am immensely proud of achieved milestones, as dramatic rise in IF & ability to adapt/innovate. 🔓rdcu.be/d2h82

Critically important publication - will result in a clear change in management. We need to understand why these results are different from past publications, as this will provide a more rational basis for precision management of Hb levels in individual patients
A liberal transfusion strategy compared with a restrictive strategy resulted in a lower rate of unfavorable neurological outcome among patients with acute brain injury. ja.ma/3ZXqw2S #LIVES2024
