Summary

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes acute deficits in cerebral perfusion which may lead to secondary injury and worse outcomes. Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is a vasodilator that increases cerebral blood flow and is clinically used for hypoxic respiratory failure in neonates and adults. The investigators will perform a randomized controlled trial of iNO treatment in TBI patients acutely after injury. The investigators will then assess perfusion changes with optic neuromonitoring, blood biomarkers, and 6 month clinical outcomes.
