Abstract

This literature review examines potential risks of anesthesia in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. Findings from 19 studies suggest that TBI patients with anesthesia may be at risk for secondary insults such as hypotension and delayed neurologic recovery. While evidence suggests adverse outcomes, further research is needed to investigate variable relationships. This review emphasizes the importance of initiating additional studies to strengthen evidence and improve care for TBI patients.
