Traumatic Brain Injury—Head Injury Emergencies

Traumatic brain injuries, or TBIs, can have lifelong effects on a victim. Caused by an external blow to the head or penetration of the skull, TBIs can look to bystanders like a superficial head injury, making it difficult to get the immediate medical care needed. Even a TBI victim may not think there has been any damage at first, since symptoms can evolve over time.

Treatment for a TBI can involve years of rehabilitation. Surgery is frequently required for severe cases.

All of this makes it more important than ever to prevent a head injury emergency from occurring in the first place. Here are a few tips:
  • Always wear your seat belt.
  • Wear bike and motorcycle helmets.
  • Opt for helmets when participating in high-risk sports like football, skiing, snowboard and horseback riding.
  • Don’t forget your hard hat if you’re at a construction site.
  • Ensure young children ride in appropriate car seats.
  • Keep a close watch on children at playgrounds.
  • Never drink and drive, or get in a car with someone who has been drinking.
