[Care of the tracheostomy in brain injury patients]. / Prise charge des trachéotomies chez les cérébrolésés.

The evolution of a patient suffering from a serious head injury can require the placement of a tracheotomy. This helps with respirator weaning and usually enables the patient to be moved from the neurosurgical intensive care ward to the neurosurgery ward. Patients fitted with a tracheotomy will therefore be cared for by post-intensive care neurological rehabilitation departments.

[The multi-disciplinary treatment of adult head trauma, from treatment to reintegration]. / La prise en charge pluridisciplinaire des traumatisés crâniens adultes, du soin à la réinsertion.

The treatment of patients with head trauma in neurological rehabilitation units must implement a coordinated care approach, involving rehabilitation and early reintegration. This integration is overseen by a specialised and multi-disciplinary team.
