Traumatic Brain Injury In Children: Acute Care Management
... The skull is a rigid compartment and composed of three components: the brain (about 80%), blood (about 10%), and cerebrospinal fluid (about 10%) (Kumar, Singhi, & Singhi, 2012). These components are normally in a state of equilibrium. Increases in the volume of one component are compensated by a dec ...
