Abstract
Abstract: Blunt cerebrovascular injuries are not as rare as they were once thought to be-but they still have the same potential for disastrous outcomes. They may occur following any trauma, but more common with higher energy transfer mechanisms. If stroke occurs, prompt recognition and treatment offers the best chance for optimal outcome. Early diagnosis and provision of antithrombotic therapy may prevent strokes, so screening of asymptomatic patients is recommended. Herein we will present what you need to know to diagnose and manage blunt cerebrovascular injury.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery® is designed to provide the scientific basis to optimize care of the severely injured and critically ill surgical patient. Thus, the Journal has a high priority for basic and translation research to fulfill this objectives. Additionally, the Journal is enthusiastic to publish randomized prospective clinical studies to establish care predicated on a mechanistic foundation. Finally, the Journal is seeking systematic reviews, guidelines and algorithms that incorporate the best evidence available.
