Neurotrauma comprises a diverse spectrum of traumatic CNS injuries, including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI). Patients with altered mental status or a neurologic deficit following a traumatic injury should be screened for TBI or SCI. This chapter provides a detailed discussion on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of neurotrauma. Prompt recognition and transport of neurotrauma patients to definitive care for medical/surgical management is paramount to prevent secondary neurologic injury. Protective equipment (seatbelts, airbags, helmets) can reduce the likelihood of neurotrauma following motor vehicle accidents and sports‐related events. Fall prevention strategies/equipment can reduce the risk of neurotrauma in the elderly. Avoidance and rapid correction of hypotension/hypoxia is of paramount importance during the acute phase after neurotrauma to avoid secondary injury.
