Episode 9- BOOSTing TBI Recovery with Neurointensivist Dr. Carandang

Today we are joined by Dr. Raphael Carandang, a neurocritical care physician who cares for patients facing life-altering neurological emergencies — from severe strokes to traumatic brain injuries — where minutes matter and decisions can define outcomes.In this episode, we break down what really happens after a traumatic brain injury, how critical care teams monitor and protect the brain in real time, and why individualized, data-driven treatment is reshaping outcomes. We’ll also explore the BOOST protocol — what it is, how it guides brain oxygen monitoring, and how it’s changing the way clinicians approach secondary brain injury.
