GENERAL/TBI: Adelson PD, Bratton SL, Carney, NA, Chesnut RM, du Coudray HE, Goldstein B, Kochanek PM, Miller HC, Partington MD, Selden NR, Warden CR, Wright DW. uidelines for the acute medical management of severe traumatic brain injury in infants, children, and adolescents.

GENERAL/TBI: Choose one. This element is only answered if the participant/subject had a seizure. This element is recommended for pediatric studies. Second insults are commonly defined by threshold values but these values are not well established in pediatrics. Based on the available data for pediatric TBI , thresholds of 80-180 mg/dL for glucose are recommended. A threshold for hemoglobin is more difficult to define given emerging data on the lower limit of hemoglobin safely tolerated by critically ill children in general and the variable effect of blood transfusion in children with severe TBI specifically.
