Traumatic Brain Injuries includes full sections on topics ranging from initial evaluation and acute care, to rehabilitation, prognosis and chronic issues related to specific types of brain injury. It also closely examines severe, mild and moderate, and penetrating brain injuries, with treatment recommendations throughout.
