🔐These new @AAGBI and @naccsuk guidelines aim to support the safe transfer between hospitals of patients with a brain injury.
They are essential reading for all doctors working in acute specialties, hospitals, trusts and departments. #FOAMed

A question we often ask in the ED/ICU: Does this patient have increased ICP?
Our @bmj_latest study found that traditional physical exam and CT signs had poor accuracy for elevated ICP. If suspected, consider treatment & transfer for invasive monitoring.https://t.co/1Eb8PtYLFJ pic.twitter.com/bQFIgWnuur
