    Author: Letvak S, Hand R.
    Journal: J Perianesth Nurs; 2003 Dec; 18(6):380-5. PubMed ID: 14730519.
    Abstract:
    Each year 1.5 million people in the United States suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI), and many of these patients require immediate surgery. TBI patients provide additional assessment and technological challenges for perianesthesia nursing care. A major goal of PACU nursing is the prevention of secondary head injury during the postanesthesia period.
