Management of Traumatic Brain Injury-Related Agitation
Краткое описание
Agitation following traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common problem that significantly interferes with the rehabilitation process and frequently prevents injured persons from successfully returning to their desired societal roles and communities. There are no standards of care regarding the management of TBI-related agitation due to the lack of a widely accepted definition of the problem, as well as to the paucity of well-designed and adequately powered trials examining treatment interventions. Given the lack of a standard of care, clinicians are advised to address agitation using an interdisciplinary approach involving health care professionals and family members that consists of environmental and behavioral modifications and, when necessary, the judicious use of medications. Medication choice is challenging because of the unique TBI-related problems of poor arousal and cognitive impairments that are often exacerbated by commonly used psychotropic drugs. Physicians must choose medications that promote participation in rehabilitation and reduce maladaptive behavior without sedating or cognitively impairing effects that adversely impact recovery.
