Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of morbidity, mortality and disability across the globe and contributes to almost 40% of all injury-related deaths.The disabilities associated with TBI significantly increase the disease as well as the socio-economic burden.Though studies in the past evaluating the diagnostic and/or prognostic role of TCD in TBI, however most of these studies were observational cohort studies. Data from randomized, controlled trials of TCD monitoring in the management of patients with severe TBI are lacking. We thus plan to conduct this study with the aim of determining whether the information derived from TCD-guided neuromonitoring of patients with severe TBI as an add on to the clinical and radiological examination will improve patient outcomes. Our hypothesis is that ICU management protocol based on the use of TCD monitoring would reduce the ICU stay, thus reducing morbidity and improve patient outcome.
