Severe head injury (Glasgow Coma Score less than or equal to 7) is associated with high mortality and morbidity which can be improved by early energetic therapy. Such patients must be picked up by prehospital/EMS service with three aims: controlling ventilation, controlling haemodynamics, avoiding any increased intracranial pressure. After initial neurological assessment, management involves endotracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation following benzodiazepine sedation, early compensation of hypovolemia avoiding any overloading, analgesia for painful injuries; according to the clinical status other pharmacological agents can be used. At admission to emergency unit, intensive care must be continued while X-rays and CT-scan are achieved. Imperative indications of transport to neuro-intensive care unit are discussed for hospitals without a neuro-surgeon.
