Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of early continuous intravenous infusion of hypertonic saline solution (HSS) to improve survival and independence in daily life activities (at 6 months) of patients with traumatic brain injury at high risk of intracranial hypertension.
