Understanding These Injuries
One of the least understood areas of our bodies is the brain. When a person sustains a brain injury, it is often hard to predict what the outcome will be, and only time is the true way to understand the effects fully. We know that there are more than 5.3 million people in the US living with disabilities caused by brain injuries. More than 50,000 people die each year due to these injuries.
The effects of brain injuries vary widely and can be temporary or permanent. They include:
- Memory loss
- Difficulties speaking
- Cognitive impairment
- Emotional or psychological problems
- Depressions and anxiety
- Loss of bodily function
- Organ failure
How do these injuries occur?
There are many ways in which Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) occur. Any time someone receives a blow to the head, there is a chance they can be harmed.
- Vehicle Accidents
- firearms incidents
- sports incidents
- falls and falling objects
- and other types of violence
In many cases, these injuries are caused due to the negligent actions of a healthcare professional:
- Surgical mistakes
- Healthcare-acquired infections
- A lack of oxygen to the brain
- Birth injuries
- Medication Mistakes
We know that you have heard of concussions, but did you know that they are also considered brain injuries? A concussion is a mild TBI, but it can become a major injury. If a person sustains a concussion that goes undiagnosed, they could be allowed to return to activity and sustain another blow to the head.
- The effects of concussions are cumulative. Suffering from a second concussion before fully healed from the first can result in long-term damage.
There are around 3.8 million sports-related concussions each year in the United States, and they primarily occur in youth. Coaches need to follow proper concussion protocols for all blows to the head.
