The decision to withdraw life support from a loved one with a traumatic brain injury is heart-wrenching and complex. Yet, with recovery being uncertain and the potential for lasting disability looming, families are often faced with this agonizing choice within days of the injury. However, new research challenges the conventional wisdom, suggesting that some patients who died after life support withdrawal might have had a chance at survival and even recovery.
