Abstract

While the overall mortality rates have decreased significantly, TBI remains a significant public health problem. In addition, while cervical spine and spinal cord injuries are less common in children compared to adults, these injuries are an important source of long-term morbidity and pose a significant burden on the health care system. The management of these injuries has continued to evolve over time. Critically injured children with TBI require the close coordination of management between the PICU team, the trauma surgeon, and the neurosurgeon.
