Abstract Traumatic brain injury often affects people in their most productive years, inflicting a significant burden on families and society. The advances in modern critical care have improved survival of patients; thus more patients live after traumatic brain injury, which raises an important issue about their neurologic outcome. At the present time, there are limited data regarding methods to optimize neurologic recovery. In this review, we try to bring information from different sources to show new approaches to achieve that goal. Some of the techniques employed are investigational and some are waiting to find broader application in intensive care units across the country.
