Alan Quasha Report

The Brain Trauma Foundation works tirelessly to help medical personnel to better treat brain trauma patients. In addition, they educate the general public about brain trauma, including concussions, and more.

The Brain Trauma Foundation, with Chair Alan Quasha, has found proven results in brain trauma care with their TBI Guidelines. This has been true across the board, starting with pre-hospital care and extending all the way through long-term care.

For pre-hospital management, the guidelines help ambulance workers and other personnel to correctly identity TBI, treat it correctly in the ambulance and directly transfer the patient to the TBI trauma center.

Their in-hospital guidelines have led to reductions in ICU days and costs; a 30-50% reduction in deaths and disabilities and improved neurological outcomes upon discharge and more.
