Core Tip	Traumatic brain injury is a major contributor to long-term disability. Hemodynamic parameters, including the mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure (PP), play a critical role in maintaining cerebral perfusion, regulating intracranial pressure, and mitigating secondary brain insult. Admission PP reflects both hemodynamic stability and injury severity in patients with brain injury. Low PP (≤ 30 mmHg) independently predicts higher mortality, whereas moderate PP is associated with optimal outcomes, suggesting this range represents a potential hemodynamic target. PP is a simple bedside adjunct marker that aids early risk stratification and guides timely intervention in patients with traumatic brain injury.
