Treatment for TBI

Each day in the US, about 190 people die from TBI, and nearly 600 people are hospitalized for TBI, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Many of these are caused by on-the-job accidents, medical malpractice, or automobile accidents. In the last three years in Norwalk alone, 238 people were involved in car accidents that led to serious injuries such as TBI.

Treatment for a traumatic brain injury needs to start as soon as possible. At first, treatment is often intended to stabilize the injured person’s health, such as minimizing any swelling and stopping wounds that are bleeding. When the patient is stable, treatment is often needed to help them relearn how to care for themselves and accommodate any new symptoms. In some cases, the injury can increase in severity as time passes, leading to an ongoing need for treatment.

TBI patience often includes this kind of treatment, called rehabilitation. Rehabilitation focuses on areas like:

• Basic self-care needs such as eating, hygiene, meeting dietary needs, dressing, and taking medication
• Mobility, which means relearning to walk and or use Mobility AIDS such as wheelchairs, canes, or others
• Communication, including speaking, reading, and writing
• Social and work-related skills
• Understanding their medication and often other pain management techniques
• Mental health treatment, such as therapy, counseling, and testing
• Supporting family members and caregivers and changes to their and the injured person’s lifestyles
