Patients with brain injury represent one of the major problems in medicine. This review article aims to present the epidemiology, pathophysiology and current recommendations for prehospital and hospital care in brain injury patients. The key factors in clinical practice for achieving the best possible neurological outcome are stressed. Secondary insults are considered as a major cause of poor long-term outcome in these patients.
