Figure 1 Development of secondary neurologic injury after pediatric acute brain injury.
After primary brain injury (black circle), a host of secondary neurologic insults can contribute to worsening of the initial injury, resulting in secondary neurologic injury (red circle). Neuromonitoring for secondary brain insults and optimization of neuroprotection may help mitigate against secondary neurologic injury in children with acute brain injuries.
