AB  - Traumatic  brain  injury  is  a  major  public  health  problem  both  in  the  developed  and  developing  world.  Its  effects  can  be  measured  both  in  its  costs  to  society  and  its  effects  on  individual  survivors  and  their  families.  Sustained  effort  on  the  part  of  researchers  as  well  as  clinicians,  and  major  technological  advances  over  the  last  5  decades  have  improved  survival  from  major  head  trauma  and  allowed  more  patients  to  achieve  meaningful  neurologic  recovery,  primarily  through  improvements  in  recognition,  medical  imaging,  post-trauma  monitoring,  and  surgical  therapeutics.1  Nevertheless,  especially  in  the  acute  phase,  the  care  of  these  patients  is  extremely  resource  intensive,  highly  complex,  and  is  best  served  by  a  team  of  specialized  clinicians  in  a  dedicated  neurocritical  care  unit.  Management  of  traumatic  brain  injury  (TBI)  in  a  crisis  situation—be  it  a  mass  casualty  incident  caused  by  a  natural  disaster,  a  terrorist  attack,  or  any  event  which  overwhelms  a  healthcare  delivery  system—adds  an  entirely  different  set  of  challenges  to  an  already  formidable  problem.
