Have You Suffered A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a form of acquired brain injury that is a result of a sudden trauma, like an auto accident, causing damage to the brain. Such trauma occurs when the head suddenly and violently hits another object, or something pierces the skull. These brain injuries are usually permanent and life-changing for the victims and their families.
Symptoms of TBIs include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Headache
- Confusion
- Lightheadedness / dizziness
- Fatigue / lethargy
- Behavioral or mood swings
- Convulsions or seizures
- Slurred speech
- Coordination loss
- Memory loss
What Is the Treatment for TBIs?
While there is not much doctors can do to reverse the initial damage, there are steps that can be taken to stabilize the patient and prevent future injury. Medical attention will focus on ensuring the patient receives oxygen, maintains blood flow, and controls blood pressure. The patient may undergo further diagnosis using x-rays and CT scans. Due to the irreversible nature of many TBIs, treatment focuses on rehabilitation.
What Is the Prognosis for TBI Victims?
According to The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, approximately 50% of patients who suffer from a severe head injury, will need surgery to remove or repair hematomas or contusions. These patients often suffer from long-term disabilities following the injury such as problems thinking clearly, memory loss, reduction in your ability to reason, as well as issues with sensory processing, communication, or behavioral health.
