A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is among the most severe injuries that can be sustained. TBI’s effects aren’t often apparent right away, which makes these injuries more complicated.
Even seemingly mild traumatic brain injuries like concussions can cause terrible and permanent consequences when not addressed right away. Impacts to the head must be addressed quickly, with a high level of attention, to avoid long lasting and significant consequences.
What exactly is a traumatic brain injury? A traumatic brain injury, often known as a TBI, results from physical harm to the brain from the outside. Brain injuries fall on a spectrum from minor to severe, with the worst cases resulting in death. Given the brain’s critical role in all human functions, brain injuries should be handled immediately and with great caution. Without immediate medical attention, they may worsen, become permanent, or result in death.
A concussion is a minor brain injury that only briefly affects the brain cells; however, a significant injury can result in bleeding, tissue damage, irreversible brain damage, coma, or even death. Unfortunately, TBIs are one of the most frequent disabilities and causes of death among adults. A moderate TBI does have a recovery possibility. However, TBI patients may require neurosurgery and physical, occupational, and speech therapy to regain brain function.
It’s crucial to visit a doctor and rule out a TBI if you or someone you love was injured in an accident or received an impact to the head. If it turns out that the injury is a TBI, it’s important to understand what specifically caused it and who is responsible.
