New guidelines just released.
June 19, 2003 ― The same group that created guidelines for treating adults with
traumatic brain injury (TBI) have created the first guidelines for the
treatment of pediatric TBI. In most areas, the panel found insufficient
evidence to establish standards of care. But wherever possible, the panel
provided guidelines and/or options for care providers to consider.
The "Guidelines for the Acute Medical Management of Severe Traumatic Brain
Injury in Infants, Children, and Adolescents" were published on June 6 as
special supplements to Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, Critical Care Medicine
and the Journal of Trauma, ensuring a multidisciplinary audience of more than
30,000 specialty providers.
Hope this helps
