Brain Injuries range from mild to severe. Most brain injuries are concussions and other “mild” varieties of injuries. Concussions are considered “mild” because they do not usually lead to death, but they are in fact very serious. They can cause death or permanent disability when they cause blot clots in the brain. Signs and symptoms of concussions include loss of consciousness, difficulty thinking or remembering new information, vomiting, fatigue, anxiety, sadness, slurred speech, and convulsions.

Brain Injury Consequences

Brain Injuries are a contributing factor in a third of all injury-related deaths in our country. Certain age groups are more likely to sustain a brain injury. Children aged 0 to 4, older teenagers from 15 to 19, and seniors aged 65 and older suffer brain injuries at the highest rates. Males sustain brain injuries at a higher rate than females.

Brain injuries have a variety of long- and short –term consequences. A brain injury can affect a patient’s personality, emotions, and abilities to communicate, think, and remember. A brain injury can increase a patient’s risk for developing epilepsy, Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease. Brain injuries can cause cognitive impairment, comas or brain death. Brain injuries can require surgery, rehabilitation, ongoing medical care, and the use of sophisticated medical devices to keep the injured patients alive. Even with medical insurance, many families with a loved one suffering from brain injuries struggle to pay for medical and recovery costs.

Whole most head injuries are caused by falls and car accidents, there are certain steps that can be taken to prevent these tragedies. To prevent falls, railings should be installed on stairways, tripping hazards should be removed, window guards or safety guards near stairways should be installed when young children are involved, and playgrounds should have mulch, sand or other substances that absorb shock. Use of seatbelts and car seats, airbags, and use of motorcycle helmets can prevent head injuries from car or motorcycle accidents.
