Uniting expertise and compassion to conquer the most intricate challenges in the journey to recovery.
Types of Traumatic Brain and Spine Injuries
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): TBIs range from mild concussions to severe injuries with long-lasting effects. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, memory problems, and cognitive impairment.
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI): SCIs can result in partial or complete loss of motor function, sensation, and reflexes below the level of injury. They can lead to paralysis or mobility limitations.
Diagnosis of Traumatic Brain and Spine Injuries
Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for the appropriate management of traumatic brain and spine injuries. Dr. Karthikeyan YR utilizes a combination of diagnostic tools, including:
Neurological Evaluation: A comprehensive assessment of the patient’s neurological function, including sensory, motor, and reflexes.
Imaging Studies: MRI, CT scans, and X-rays to visualize the extent of brain and spinal cord injuries.
Intracranial Pressure Monitoring: For severe TBIs, monitoring of intracranial pressure to prevent further damage.
Treatment of Traumatic Brain and Spine Injuries
Management of these injuries may involve various approaches:
Stabilization: Ensuring the patient is stable, and addressing life-threatening issues first.
Medication: Medications may be administered to control brain swelling, prevent seizures, or manage pain.
Surgery: Surgical intervention may be necessary to address brain or spinal cord damage, relieve pressure, or stabilize the spine.
Rehabilitation: After the initial treatment, rehabilitation is essential to improve function, mobility, and quality of life.
