DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT PROCESS IN TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY

Abstract

Every year, over 10 million people worldwide suffer from traumatic brain injury. A shock, blow, or bump to the head, as well as a penetrating head injury, can all result in traumatic brain damage (TBI), which is a disturbance of normal brain function. It also comes with potential side effects, like oxygen deprivation-induced damage, increased intracranial pressure, and cerebral edema. Traumatic brain damage comes in two primary forms: closed and open. Both primary and secondary effects might result from an injury that is localized (focal injury) or diffuse (widespread). In order to prevent the secondary injuries brought on by conditions like hypoxia and hypotension, management of severe TBI entails receiving acute care with close attention to the airway, oxygenation, and appropriate hemodynamic support. Treating people with traumatic brain injuries remains difficult. Research has made a substantial contribution to our understanding of how injuries occur and how general hospital care is provided. Further research is required to help build evidence-based therapy techniques that can be used to improve functional results and lessen patient management variability.
