Severe craniocerebral injury complicated with pulmonary infection can be treated with medications and other therapies. Active treatment should be initiated first, and according to different symptoms, drugs such as mannitol for dehydration and agents for neurotrophic support may be selected. For pulmonary infections, examinations based on specific causes should be performed, including bedside blood tests and pulmonary imaging studies. Once a clear diagnosis is established, appropriate and targeted treatment can be administered.
