The emergency room is where the injury is first diagnosed and decisions are made regarding the appropriate medical action to take. In some cases, patients are taken immediately to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for 24-hour monitoring and care. Other injuries sustained at the time of a brain injury may require ICU services not necessarily related to the head trauma.
