Research
In collaboration with the Comprehensive Children’s Injury Center (CCIC), several new research projects at Cincinnati Children’s are focused on improving the outcome for children suffering from traumatic brain injuries (TBI). These include projects looking at:
- The initial screening of children with a proven or possible head injury
- The use of screening information to direct appropriate follow-up
- Implementing and testing guidelines for the use of CT imaging, both initial and follow-up
- Evaluation of long-term outcomes of severely brain injured children
- Reduction in variation in management of severe TBI
