    Author: Olshaker JS, Whye DW.
    Journal: Emerg Med Clin North Am; 1993 Feb; 11(1):165-86. PubMed ID: 8432248.
    Abstract:
    An estimated 60,000 patients with severe head injury reach the Emergency Department alive each year; 50% of these patients have significant elevations in intracranial pressure at or shortly after arrival. Aggressive emergency department management with particular attention to airway management, control of intracranial pressure, and proper use of radiographic studies is crucial to successful neurologic recovery.
