Description
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result from trauma ranging from a simple blow to the head to a penetrating injury to the brain. Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), also known as a brain concussion, initially was considered to be a benign occurrence. However, mild traumatic brain injury has galvanized tremendous attention for some of the adverse neuropsychological outcomes in contact-sport athletes and military personnel. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of traumatic brain injuries and highlights the role of interprofessional team members in collaborating to provide well-coordinated care and enhance outcomes for affected patients.
Objectives
To describe the etiology of traumatic brain injury.
To describe the epidemiology of traumatic brain injury.
To outline the management strategies for traumatic brain injury.
To employ interprofessional team strategies for improving care coordination and communication to advance the management of traumatic brain injury and improve patient outcomes
