Overview of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Показать описание

In this lesson I start off talking about traumatic brain injury nursing considerations. There is a lot to cover when talking about TBI and this lesson starts the discussion with a quick overview of some of the key points to understanding traumatic brain injury.

Much of the information covered, from the etiology, to classification, to explaining the different types of head injuries, primary brain injuries, and what exactly secondary brain injuries are, are being covered very quickly to serve as an introduction and foundation for future lessons in which I will go more in depth in to these different areas.

My goal is to have to feel comfortable with the overall concepts and terms that will be used for the next few lessons moving forward.

I had 3 brain bleeds from a terrible car wreck and 9 other surgeries. God wasn't done with me yet. I'm a miracle still walking.

Today is the 12th anniversary of my accident. When I was 17, I was hit by a van taxi while crossing the street on a green light. I suffered severe TBI, I stayed in a coma for 9 days and was in critical condition for 72hrs. The doctors were preparing my family for my passing because it was highly unlikely that I would survive however I did. I lost 50% of my eyesight and deal with migraines, back aches and confusion. I lived in hell for 8 years following the accident but I didn’t give up. The doctors told me I would never walk again and last year I did a handstand. Time heals all, miracles exist and the best part about being human is how resilient we are. Keep moving forward, you are more than what happened to you. You are enough.

Went over a 4 to 7½ story cliff. Coma for 24 days. Brain bleed. When I awoke didn't know how to do anything physically but my long-term memory stayed intact so I could remember doing all of it. After I woke up I was discharged from the hospital in 29 days. No headache's ever before or after injury. Back to work and finished with outpatient therapy 9 months after discharge. No residual effects so far. Going on 34 years since accident.
Life went back to normal for me.

Thank you for making this video, when I was 16 I hit my head and split it open and little did I know it was about to change the rest of my life. Its been 3 years since I hit my head and I still struggle to get through daily life with my TBI. Its a crazy feeling not knowing what's going on inside your body but after learning about TBI'S and the side affects it has, you start to relearn your body and learn how to deal with the constant Pain and dis comfort. For anyone dealing with a TBI out there, know your not alone!

Recently, a really close person in my life experienced severe TBI. He’s 57 and he has been unconscious now for almost a week. He’s like a dad to me. Hope he wakes soon

I'm an Occupational Therapy student deprived of lessons like these because of the lockdown/quarantine. I can't really find articles about TVI that are easy to understand, and your video was the solution. Thankyou for this! God bless!

I’m coming up on my 11th anniversary from surviving my TBI. I wasn’t wearing a helmet when going 35 mph on a longboard (long skateboard) and fell into a coma and had to have immediate emergency brain surgery (Shout out to Tufts Floating hospital for children in Boston) for my brain surgeon who came in at 2 in the morning to save my life. It’s been a road and I’m thankful everyday for that man.

I've suffered many moderate TBIs right from my childhood. I suffer from slurry speech and brain fog most of the time. I sleep a lot too and can't concentrate at the tasks that I undertake. Short term memory loss is also an issue.

I have TBI and shrinking brain, my whole life I have been an active male, I live in Canada so hockey (I was a goal so pucks to the head) and lacrosse, very physical. I did search and rescue and have been in the military and seen combat. I wasn't diagnosed with TBI till this year. In the past I have had issues with my temperament, but for the most I believe I wasn't to bad. A year ago I had a kidney transplant, there was some issues during my surgery and was under for 12 hrs. About 6 months after the transplant I started to notice having a hard time concertation, forgetfulness, shakes and my moods started getting worse. At first they thought it was the meds but had to get testing done just incase it was early Alzheimer. Went it all came back it was TBI. They believe I've had TBI for awhile but the surgery activated it to the state I am now. Your video has answered a lot of questions for me cause I am on a waiting list to get into proper treatment. What do you think of stem cell therapy?

When I was 5, a 5 pound weight fell off the top of my dad's garage shelves – not sure how high they were, but it fell a few feet, at least. It also came from the top of a box, so probably more like 4 feet. I think I actually remember the moment just before it landed on my head. The next thing I remember is being in my neighbor's van, and someone putting a towel on my head, which immediately turned blood red. The last thing I remember from that day was waking up while getting stitched up, and then passing out again. I had an extremely dysfunctional family, and have had a number of mild TBIs, too. I have had a lot of social and mental health issues throughout my life, and I've really worked on them, but it has always felt like a war I can't win. I didn't think the could be related to my head injuries until I was 35. When I told my PCP and them, she just said, "Yep, that makes sense."

It's been really rough, too. In grad school, I wrote a paper about how something about me changed when I was a kid. Everyone loved me one day, and the next I couldn't do anything right. Even after examining what I went through as a kid, I still didn't connect the dots back to my first TBI. I'm pretty sure that my parents just pretended that there wasn't anything wrong so I wouldn't feel different, and I just assumed that the weight that landed right where my frontal lobe is didn't have any affect on my brain. I wish I could go back and get the help that 5 year old me needed to grow up without the problems I'm just now starting to understand.

Suffered a TBI when I was 5. Every now and then I like to try and learn as much about TBI as I can to help me understand it more. My mechanism of injury was a fall from a horse bucking when I was 5. Idk if it was blunt or penetrating. It's multiple small scarring of the brain which is complicated to know which kind.

Bless all who are afflicted with TBIs. I had severe tbi brain hemorrhage last Autumn, from car accident. I was knocked unconcious for two days And had internal injuries, and banged up externally. Couldn't walk for a mont. My mental health has worsened post TBI, neuropathy, sickening constant migraines, intense exhausting emotional roller coaster all the time, and so tired all the time-but sleep is a luxury now.. It really does change a person, I isolated myself for this entire year because I felt hope was lost and depression/anxiety/paranoia rules my life with a fist of cold steel. Repressed memories have also been triggered out of nowhere and they are waking nightmares that invade my mind. For the past two weeks I'm on the path of getting help from several resources, I hope to have full neurological exam done and other vital treatment soon.

Years ago I was a caregiver provider for a 30 year old male with "extreme" TBI. He had been in a car accident, as a passenger, on New Years Eve...the only person injured and spent over 6 years comatose. When he woke, his left side was pretty well shot. Left arm and hand crippled, left leg weak twisted, mute, eyes weak. memory long term was in and out, memory short term needed to be refreshed on a regular basis. He communicated with a box that had a keyboard, a screen, emited a tape out the end and a voice. a handy way of getting things done. We'd go to a sandwich shop and he'd hit on the waitresses with the box. He didn't let this slow him down. He said that he'd spent too much time "asleep". Had things to do. He started corresponding with a woman on the west coast and got her to fly hm out there. This was in New Hampshire. I wrote a couple of letters for him, his sister the rest. 'm writing a novel, now, with someone similar as the main character. The problem is that I need more to make"technical" information to make him credible. Any ideas?

This is excellent information about TBIs. Extremely thorough yet understandable!

Getting rear ended by an 18 wheeler at 30mph with no brakes has changed my life forever. Double vision, loss of continence, loss of balance, constant tinnitus. After cervical surgery for the compression, what I thought was a whiplash has become daily misery.

I was I’m a coma if 6 weeks after a blunt injury. My family was told I had 4-24 hours of live. Since then I not only lived but I have suffered tremendous cognitive difficulties. I was able to graduate from community college. But my mental state, is unstable to say the least. I hope this information helps. PS I also lost 100% vision in one eye
