Debido a la magnitud que representa el TCE es preciso direccionar todo esfuerzo en pro de disminuir la morbi-mortalidad, y evitar en lo m谩s posible las secuelas que pudieran presentar, para ello es necesario establecer un diagn贸stico precoz y un manejo oportuno.

Due to the magnitude that TBI represents, it is necessary to direct all efforts towards reducing morbidity and mortality, and avoiding as much as possible the consequences that may occur. To do so, it is necessary to establish an early diagnosis and timely management.

Applied to a total universe of patients with head trauma and alcoholic breath who present to the emergency department. RESULTS: A total of 120 patients who met the inclusion criteria were analyzed by performing a blood alcohol test. With the results of said sample, it was identified that there is an association between the consumption of alcoholic substances and the risk of presenting a moderate to TBI. severe, with a greater predominance in traffic accidents in motor vehicles, more frequently in males at an age of 25-59 years. CONCLUSIONS: It was observed that TBI combined with alcohol intake denotes the main cause of traffic accidents, thus affecting a part of the economically active young population between the age of 25-59 years, predominance in males. &nbsp
