Fundamentals in the Management of Traumatic Brain Injury Course

Fundamentals in the Management of Traumatic Brain Injury is a joint educational initiative of the Brain Trauma Foundation (BTF) and the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS COT). This comprehensive online course equips trauma care providers with the latest evidence-based recommendations for the management of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).

BTF guidelines have been shown to reduce TBI mortality by up to 50%, making guideline-based care a critical component of optimal trauma outcomes. This course translates those guidelines into practical, clinically relevant instruction for everyday trauma care.

Course content covers initial patient assessment, key resources, and an in-depth review of the Adult Guidelines for the Management of Severe Traumatic Brain Injury, 4th Edition, along with the SIBICC algorithms, surgical management pearls, and an international perspective on TBI care.

Designed for all clinicians involved in trauma care, this course provides current best practices to improve outcomes for patients with severe TBI.
