Summary

In this Trauma-Pharma segment, clinical pharmacist Alex Smithers joins us again to unpack the approach to seizure prophylaxis in traumatic brain injury (TBI). She covers who actually needs seizure prevention, why Keppra (levetiracetam) is commonly used, and how to get the dosing right. Practical, evidence-based, and focused — everything you need to sharpen your trauma care. Check out www.trauma-ing.com for more FOAM trauma related content
