Traumatic brain injury remains a leading global health concern with significant social and economic impact. The main causes include traffic accidents, falls, and violence, especially affecting young adults. In the Republic of Moldova, TBI incidence is rising, particularly during the prehospital phase. TBI involves both primary and secondary brain injuries, the latter often resulting from hypoxia, hypotension, or hyperglycemia. These secondary insults critically influence outcomes and are associated with high mortality. Effective prehospital management – focused on stabilizing oxygenation and hemodynamics – is essential in reducing neurological deterioration. Emergency teams play a key role in preventing secondary injury and improving survival.
Alcohol intoxication is often the cause of traumatic brain injury. The purpose of the work was to study the features of lipid metabolism in erythrocytes and mitochondria of the cerebral cortex cell membranes of rats in traumatic brain injury on the background of chronic alcohol intoxication.
