Event Details
Course introduction:
Through this course, Dr Truong Do, from the University of Minnesota will present a deeper understanding of traumatic brain injury and its progression from primary to secondary brain injury. Dr. Do will also briefly review the molecular mechanisms and pathophysiological processes that contribute to secondary brain injury sustained through trauma. Understanding these processes will allow us to explore the available clinical interventions that are aimed at minimizing secondary brain injury. Additionally, we will review the invasive and non-invasive monitoring modalities aimed at minimizing secondary brain injury.
Learning objectives:
- Describe the phases of traumatic brain injury and the Monroe-Kellie doctrine
- Develop a broad overview of whole-body physiology and the associated clinical interventions that aim to minimize secondary brain injury
- State the indications for invasive and non-invasive central nervous system monitoring modalities

Dr. Truong Do
MD & BS in Biology from the University of Minnesota
Dr. Truong “Huy” Do is a neurological surgery resident in his fifth year of training at the University of Minnesota. He earned his MD from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Medical School, and a BS in Biology from the University of Minnesota. As a resident, Dr. Do’s clinical interests are in the areas of cranial and spinal neurotrauma because of the remarkable capacity for the neurological system to recover from such injuries. His research efforts are focused on leveraging the use of national databases to identify disparities in neurotrauma care. He hopes to better understand the impact of patients’ social, ethnic, economic, and racial backgrounds on the receipt of neurosurgical care and on their long-term outcomes. With the knowledge gained from this research, he hopes to improve the delivery of care to patients with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries.
