Head and Brain Injuries

Head and brain injuries are some of the most common injuries which can lead to the death of an individual or have life changing repercussions. These injuries not only affect the individual who has suffered the injury but also those who are closely related to that person.

Head injuries can bring about serious complications to a person who has been injured badly. Such injuries could be caused in a number of different ways such as:

·                                 Car accidents

·                                 Road rage accidents

·                                 Truck accidents

·                                 Trip and slip

·                                 Assault

·                                 Accidents at the workplace

·                                 Accidents in public places

·                                 Injuries caused due to clinical negligence

Injuries resulting from the above mentioned factors could greatly vary in their intensity leading to complications such as:

·                                 Cognitive difficulties

·                                 Loss of memory

·                                 Poor concentration

·                                 Permanent damage to the brain

·                                 Physical disability

·                                 Hearing problems

·                                 Focal Neurological Deficit

·                                 Loss of consciousness

·                                 Symptoms such as nausea, headache, dizziness, confusion and disorientation

·                                 Visual problems

·                                 Slowed responses

·                                 Fatigue and poor problem solving

·                                 Chronic pain

·                                 Paralysis

·                                 Irritability

·                                 Inappropriate social behaviour

·                                 Emotional ordeal or depression

Head injuries can be really serious if there occurs excessive bleeding, swelling of the brain, or tearing apart of tissues. Even if the injury seems to be minor at the time of the accident, one should get proper treatment and an adequate check up of the brain so as to ensure that there are no serious problems. If the injured person does not show any signs of breathing, coughing or movement then immediately the victim should be given CPR treatment.
