Cover Story: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often occurs in the setting of polytrauma, and critical care treatment of TBI must take co-morbidities of TBI that are caused by trauma into account. Comorbidities can include traumatic injury to many other body systems. However, in addition to co-morbid injuries, TBI itself can independently lead to both acute and chronic dysfunction in other organs or parts of the body, with extracranial effects being observed in cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, gastrointestinal, hormonal, hemostatic, and immune systems, among others. An understanding of such effects is critical to best practice in the treatment of acute and chronic TBI, and to the routine health maintenance care of patients with chronic TBI. View this paper
