Summary

The development of biomarker-based testing for the evaluation and management of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is enabling optimized approaches to support care in the emergency department (ED) for nursing. In this webinar, we discuss current standards for mTBI evaluation and explore new opportunities to assess patients based on the latest research and developments in brain injury biomarkers. The session will highlight real-world case studies and share best practices to integrate biomarker testing in the ED.

Learning Objectives

  • Examine challenges and shortcomings of the current approaches to mTBI evaluation in the ED
  • Review the latest advancements in TBI biomarkers, including identifying brain-specific biomarkers with characteristics that offer diagnostic value in the ED
  • Describe how blood-based biomarker testing can be used in conjunction with other clinical information to aid in the evaluation of suspected mTBI patients and reduce diagnostic uncertainty by providing a quantifiable objective assessment
  • Examine the potential for biomarker testing to reduce unnecessary head CT, improve patient care and satisfaction, and improve operational efficiency
