In-Depth Guide & Mathematical Methodology
🧠 TBI Severity & Airway Intubation Threshold
GCS 13 - 15 (Minor TBI): Intact consciousness. CT head indicated if high-risk features present (Canadian CT Head Rule).
GCS 9 - 12 (Moderate TBI): Lethargy or confusion. Immediate CT head and neurosurgical consultation.
GCS ≤ 8 (Severe TBI): Coma. ⚠️ Secure airway immediately via RSI intubation. High aspiration risk.
