TBI Flashcards
what is a TBI due to
an impact from an external force causing brain cell and vascular damage
=leads to hypoxia and death
an impact from an external force causing brain cell and vascular damage leads to what
=leads to hypoxia and death
what are some examples of vascular damage
compression, shearing, tension, laceration)
what are the 3 types of TBI
1) closed type
2) open type
3) coup contrecoup
define a closed type TBI
=non penetrating may result in increased intracranial pressure
=non penetrating may result in increased intracranial pressure
which type of TBI
closed ctype
define open type TBI
penetrating
(ex: skull fragments penetrate brain)
penetrating
(ex: skull fragments penetrate brain)
which type of TBI
open type
define coup contre coup TBI
injury on one side but the rebound causes second injury on opposite side
injury on one side but the rebound causes second injury on opposite side
which type of TBI
coup cotnrecoup
true or false: there is secondary damage assocaited with TBI
true
define how secondary damage can be caused in TBI
increased intracranial pressure/hemorage
cerebral hypoxia/schemia
electrolyte imbalance
seizures/infecture
what does the area of the brain affected in TBI depend on
the area of force
the area of the brain affected by TBI depends on BLANK
the area of force
which lobe is often injured in TBI
frontal
if patient is in a coma, that means there is damage where
brainstem RF (severe TBI)
what is the leading cause of death disabilities for canadians under then age of 40
brain injiry

age of 40
what gender is there higher incidence for TBI
men
what are some common causes of TBI
falls
medical conditions (hypotension, visual issues)
motor vehicle/pedestrian/work accidents
which ages are at risk for TBI
most common death/disabilities for people unser the age of 40
children under 4 and above 60 are also at a higher risk

name some of the common syntpms of TBI
cranial n damage (altered smell, vision, paralysis of facial muscles, dyshpgia, dizzy and hearing loss)
motor impairement
coordination/balance issues
cognitive difficulties (attention, memory)
behavioural changes (impulsivity, personality)
aphasia
what are some of the assocaited conditions of TBI
seizures, hydrocephalus, vertigo
=multiple TBI leads to increased risk of alziegmers/dementia, parkison
true or false: multiple TBI leads to increased risk of parkinsons only
false parkinsons but also alzeigmenrs/demetioa
what are the 5 functional implications of tbi
1) decreased autonomy in transfers and ambulation
2) decrease ADLS
3) decreased caregiving
4) decreased leisure participation and commiunity
5) decreased physical and cognitive status
what are the general types of treatment fro TBI
medical/surgery
OT/PT
SLP
Dieticians
social worker
neuropsychologist
how can medical treatment help TBI
reduce risk of secondary damage post TBI (maybe surgery)
how can OT treatment help TBI
adls ,productivity leisure
=throught treatment and adaption
how can PT treatment help TBI
muscle strength
ROM
coordination
gait
how can SLP treatment help TBI
help with dyshphasia and aphasia for communication
how can dietian treatment help TBI
diet and nutrion
how can social worker help TBI
for family supper
how can a neuropsychological help
with cognitive impairments related to school and work
