Head Injury
Seventy percent of accidental injury deaths are due to head injury. A head injury is medically categorized as any injury to the scalp, skull or brain. Examples of head injury include skull fractures, blood clots between the skull and brain, as well as brain damage, which may involve secondary complications such as brain swelling, and a blocked flow of blood and oxygen to the brain.
Most head injuries occur during car accidents, sports accidents, falls, work-related accidents, assaults and bullet wounds. Over a third of all Head Injury victims require hospital treatment.
The most obvious symptom of head injury is unconsciousness, however, a victim may also experience vomiting, headache, blurred vision, dizziness, shock, partial numbness or paralysis, memory loss or amnesia, confusion, and emotional trauma.
When hospitalization becomes necessary, the medical staff monitors a head injury victim for signs of change in the condition and may also administer drugs to prevent seizure or insert tubes to drain excess fluid out of the brain.
