Head injury: assessment and early management

Ano de publicação: 2019

This guideline covers the assessment and early management of head injury in children, young people and adults. It promotes effective clinical assessment so that people receive the right care for the severity of their head injury, including referral directly to specialist care if needed. In September 2019, we changed our advice to indicate that adults and children who are on any anticoagulant (not just warfarin) should have a CT head scan within 8 hours of head injury.
