    AbstractThe association between an improved prognosis and early treatment, including surgical intervention, makes air transport for the head-injured patient an important component of care. Patient positioning and the use of hyperventilation have been modes of treatment used for decreasing cerebral edema and ICP for many years. This standard of care should be emphasized during air medical transport as well.
