ABSTRACT
There were over 27 million new cases of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) in 2016 across the globe. TBIs are often part of complicated trauma scenarios and may not be diagnosed initially because the primary clinical focus is on stabilizing the patient. Interventions used to stabilize trauma patients may inadvertently impact the outcomes of TBIs. Recently, there has been a strong interest in the trauma community toward administrating fibrinogen-containing solutions intravenously to help stabilize trauma patients. While this interventional shift may benefit general trauma scenarios, fibrinogen is associated with potentially deleterious effects for TBIs. Here, we deconstruct what components of fibrinogen may be beneficial as well as potentially harmful following TBI and extrapolate this to biomimetic approaches to treat bleeding and trauma that may also lead to better outcomes following TBI.
