Summary
The investigators intend to determine the effect of adrenergic blockade on 1) short-term physiology, behavior, and cognition and 2) long-term neuropsychological outcomes after severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The primary hypothesis is that adrenergic blockade after severe TBI will be associated with increased ventilator-free days.
