Abstract
Non-neurological organ dysfunction is common after traumatic brain injury and is an independent contributor to morbidity and mortality. It represents a risk factor that is potentially amenable to treatment, and early recognition and prompt intervention may improve outcome. This article reviews the current evidence for the mechanisms and treatment of non-neurological organ dysfunction after head injury.Entities:
