Guidelines/Instructions
GENERAL/TBI: Choose one. Seizure activity in the brain may cause focal or generalized vasodilation with increased cerebral blood volume and high intracranial pressure. Moreover, metabolic requirements are increased in a situation where brain metabolism is already compromised. Seizures are therefore an important second insult following TBI.
