Summary

This study looks at whether a simple ultrasound of the brain's blood flow can safely identify mild traumatic brain injury patients who can go home right away instead of staying in the hospital for observation. About 550 adults with mild head injuries will be randomly assigned to either the ultrasound-guided discharge or standard care. The goal is to see if the ultrasound approach is just as good at preventing long-term problems.
