Protect the brain — initial stabilisation of major paediatric head injury

Station status

This is one MedVellum formative structured clinical encounter. The scoring, prompts and performance descriptions are educational feedback tools. They are not an official college station, timing, mark allocation, pass score or reproduced examination format. The encounter assesses recognition of severe traumatic brain injury, leadership of the neuroprotective primary survey with cervical spine control, airway threshold, ventilation target, fluid strategy, raised intracranial pressure management, communication, reassessment, neurosurgical escalation and safe transfer. ^{[8] [11]}
