Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) can occur without a direct hit to the head and often have delayed symptoms. Early diagnosis is critical for effective treatment, so seek medical attention after any sudden impact. At Injury Care Centers, we seamlessly integrate access to board-certified specialists and cutting-edge diagnostic technology under one roof. injurycarecenters.net #injurycarecenters #caraccident #TBI #brainhealth

Did you know that older adults are more likely to be hospitalized and die from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) compared to all other age groups? Because symptoms of TBI overlap with other medical conditions, TBIs may be misdiagnosed more often. Healthcare providers should check for signs and symptoms of TBI if an older adult has fallen, has a fall-related injury, or been in a car crash. It’s especially critical to investigate the possibility of a TBI if an individual is currently on blood thinners. Blood thinners may increase the risk of bleeding in the brain following a TBI.

At a time when concussions are becoming ever more recognized as a serious, and treatable, injury, there is a higher need for evidence based skilled care for those suffering. If you are looking to elevate your knowledge on concussion identification and treatment, check out our course (link below)! The goals of this course are to dispel common myths and misconceptions regarding brain injuries and empower clinicians that may feel they have a gap in knowledge on managing concussions. https://lnkd.in/eTKT25em 

There are a lot of myths about concussions that can leave patients confused about their diagnosis. BrainScope can give quick and accurate insights into mild head injuries. Read our concussion care guide that includes answers to frequently asked questions and best practices for recovery. #concussion #ConcussionCare #BrainScope #BrainHealth https://bit.ly/49XwoLQ

Caring for brain injury patients requires knowledge, compassion, and resources. That's why our newest webinar, The Essential Brain Injury Guide, has all the tools you need to better understand brain injuries and support your patients on their recovery journey.

AIUM webinars are always very focussed. The issue of preventing work related injuries is crucial as it can result in people having to give up working in that area. #ultrasonography #ultrasoundtechnology

Odds are, at some point, someone we care about could experience a brain injury. Knowing where to go BEFORE something happens can set you and your loved ones up for better care and better outcomes. One important step we can take is to check to see which local hospitals have stroke specific designations, such as a Primary Stroke Center, Comprehensive Stroke Center or Acute Stroke-Ready Hospital. In the case of a stroke, fast care is best. IF we have the ability to choose, these designations can help us to choose wisely.

🧠 March is National Brain Injury Awareness Month Your brain is the command center of your body, and protecting it is crucial. A 2014 CDC study highlighted the alarming frequency and impact of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs): 2.53 million individuals were treated in ERs for TBI-related injuries, with 75% being concussions. Falls led as the top cause of ER visits for young children (0-4 years) and older adults (65+ years). For adolescents and adults aged 15 to 44, motor vehicle crashes were the main reason for hospitalizations. Shockingly, 56% of mild TBI patients received no related diagnosis in the ER, yet were later found to have a documented brain injury. Your brain is irreplaceable. If you've suffered an injury, recognizing the signs and seeking immediate medical care are critical steps. #BrainInjuryAwareness #concussion #TBIawareness
