Seek Medical Attention If You Suspect You Suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can occur any time a victim experiences a significant blow to the head. Depending on the nature of the accident, brain tissue is damaged when it either strikes the inner wall of the skull or an object pierces the skull.
If you have experienced a blow to the head, Johns Hopkins Hospital advises you to watch for the following symptoms:
- Confusion or disorientation
- Persistent headaches
- Nausea
- Loss of balance
- Difficulty communicating or speaking
- Seizures
Miami Valley Hospital has a level-one trauma center to diagnose your injuries and help you treat your injury. Delaying any treatment for your TBI could have serious consequences. Victims could be left with permanent cognitive disabilities and physical impairments. In severe cases, a TBI can lead to death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are about 190 TBI-related deaths every day (this statistic is based on a 2021 report).
