The Initial Prehospital Management of Traumatic Brain Injuries in Kigali, Rwanda.

Introduction: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are an important cause of mortality and disability around the world. Early intervention and stabilization are necessary to obtain optimal outcomes, yet little is written on the topic in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The aim is to provide a descriptive analysis of patients with TBI treated by Service d'Aide Medicale Urgente (SAMU), the prehospital ambulance service in Kigali, Rwanda.
