18: TBI Management in the Prolonged Fieldcare Environment

18: TBI Management in the Prolonged Fieldcare Environment

We want you to be able to have more knowledge on this topic and more confidently be able to answer these questions and plan for it, as well as implement this into your training for hands on and trauma patient assessment skills. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is physical damage to the brain caused by a blow to the head, penetrating objects, motor vehicles crashes and explosions, or a combination of these, which are all familiar scenarios we encounter in our community. This is especially true for Motor Vehicle Crash, the number one cause of death of our Operators on peacetime deployments, and still 5% of deaths even in warzones. To make matters worse, the force that caused the TBI also created other injuries such as a hemothorax, making it even more of an animal to treat. It’s more difficult to understand what is going on because there isn’t an artery spurting blood we can address, so we have to put on our thinking caps and understand what is going on at the cellular level.
