2026 | Guidelines & Standards
Ontario Health, in collaboration with CritiCall Ontario, has updated the neurosurgical guidelines to support evidence-based (modified Brain Injury Guideline – mBIG) management of adult traumatic brain injury (TBI).
The pathway supports Emergency Department (ED) clinicians in the assessment and management of adult patients presenting with low-risk traumatic brain injury. Eligible, low acuity adult brain trauma patient care may be supported by an ED Peer physician who will be providing real-time coaching and mentoring, clinical decision support, and guidance on the application of mBIG criteria for Ontario patients.
Intercranial hemorrhage, brain tumour and spinal cord injury guidelines are under revision.
