Concussion Management in the Deployed

Setting: New 2012 MACE and Clinical Algorithms

Mild traumatic brain injury, also known as concussion, is the most common

form of TBI sustained in the military. Unlike a severe or moderate TBI, mild

TBI may not be easily identified.

Recognizing the importance for early detection, the Defense Department

developed the Military Acute Concussion Evaluation, a standardized clinical

interview for assessing concussion in a deployed setting.

Used in conjunction with clinical judgment, MACE and the Concussion

Management in Deployed Settings clinical algorithms take approximately 10

minutes to administer, assisting health care providers in proceeding with the

cognitive screening, symptom screening and neurological evaluation. In 2012,

MACE and the clinical algorithms were significantly redesigned.

This webinar will review the new 2012 MACE and clinical algorithms.
