Brain injuries affect millions of people each year, and it\u2019s important to recognize the signs and symptoms of a brain injury.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/ehealth\/2023\/03\/15\/be-smart-about-traumatic-brain-injuries\/#espanol\">Para leer en Espa\u00f1ol, por favor haga clic aqu\u00ed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are two types of acquired brain injury: traumatic and nontraumatic. Nontraumatic brain injuries (NTBIs) are often caused by internal factors, such as a stroke, aneurysm, lack of oxygen, or pressure from a tumor. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/traumatic-brain-injury-and-concussion-adults\">Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)<\/a>\u00a0are caused by an external force, such as a fall, car accident, assault, or sports injury.<\/p>\n<p>TBIs are complex and are associated with a broad spectrum of symptoms and disabilities. They can range from mild to severe and can affect a patient\u2019s physical, cognitive, and emotional function. Some TBIs can have lifelong effects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost TBIs that occur each year are mild, and we know them as concussions,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/david-gealt-do\">David B. Gealt, DO<\/a>, Director of the Concussion Program and Assistant Director of Sports Medicine at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s important to seek medical attention for any TBI, particularly if symptoms persist or worsen. Also, if you\u2019ve had a previous concussion, your brain may be more vulnerable to another injury.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Here are some common signs and symptoms of a TBI:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mild to severe headache <\/strong>that can be persistent<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confusion<\/strong>, including difficulty concentrating, memory problems, and disorientation<\/li>\n<li><strong>Amnesia<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Nausea and vomiting<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Dizziness and balance problems <\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Sensitivity to light and noise<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mood changes <\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Slurred speech <\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Sleep disturbances<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Loss of consciousness<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important to note that these symptoms can appear immediately after the injury or may take several hours or days to develop,\u201d Dr. Gealt says. \u201cEarly detection and treatment can help minimize symptoms and improve recovery time.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Diagnosis Is Critical<\/h3>\n<p>As a leading academic health system, Cooper approaches the diagnosis and treatment of TBI in a comprehensive manner with collaboration from experts in multiple disciplines. Specialists in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/neurological-institute\">Cooper Neurological Institute<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/bone-and-joint-institute\">Cooper Bone and Joint Institute<\/a> work as a team to create individualized treatment plans for each patient.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow we treat TBI is unique to each patient, but it usually involves a multidisciplinary team approach that can include neurologists, neurosurgeons, sports medicine physicians, physical therapists, and neuropsychologists,\u201d Dr. Gealt says.<\/p>\n<p>For individuals with trauma to the head who exhibit obvious signs of injury or suspected issues, Cooper\u2019s expert treatment team performs a full neurological, cognitive, and physical evaluation. If neuroimaging is necessary, Cooper has state-of-the-art facilities, including the latest technologies in EEG, CT, and MRI scanning.<\/p>\n<h3>Keep Yourself Safe<\/h3>\n<p>Not all TBIs can be prevented, but statistics show that falls and car accidents are the leading causes of TBI. Here are some tips to help protect yourself and your loved ones from TBI:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Always wear a seatbelt and make sure children are properly secured in age-appropriate car seats or boosters.<\/li>\n<li>Wear a helmet when participating in high-risk activities, such as contact sports, biking, skateboarding, or skiing. Make sure the helmet fits properly.<\/li>\n<li>Remove tripping hazards, such as clutter, cords, or loose rugs in your home to prevent falls.<\/li>\n<li>Install handrails on stairs and nonslip mats in the bathtub or shower to prevent slips and falls.<\/li>\n<li>Be cautious when walking or driving in areas with poor lighting or hazardous conditions, such as icy or wet pavement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you experience a traumatic brain injury or are having symptoms from a recent accident, fall, or trauma, make an appointment with an expert at Cooper\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/traumatic-brain-injury-and-concussion-adults\">Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury Program<\/a> by calling <a href=\"tel:8565361138\">856.536.1138<\/a>\u00a0or using our <a href=\"https:\/\/request.cooperhealth.org\/request.php\">online appointment form<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"espanol\"><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Se\u00f1ales de lesi\u00f3n cerebral traum\u00e1tica que debe conocer<\/h2>\n<p>Marzo es el mes de concientizaci\u00f3n sobre las lesiones cerebrales. Las lesiones cerebrales afectan a millones de personas cada a\u00f1o y es importante reconocer los signos y s\u00edntomas de una lesi\u00f3n cerebral.<\/p>\n<p>Hay dos tipos de lesi\u00f3n cerebral adquirida: traum\u00e1tica y no traum\u00e1tica. Las lesiones cerebrales no traum\u00e1ticas (NTBIs) a menudo son causadas por factores internos, como un derrame cerebral, un aneurisma, falta de ox\u00edgeno o presi\u00f3n de un tumor. Las <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/traumatic-brain-injury-and-concussion-adults\">lesiones cerebrales traum\u00e1ticas<\/a> (TBIs) son causadas por una fuerza externa, como una ca\u00edda, un accidente automovil\u00edstico, una agresi\u00f3n o una lesi\u00f3n deportiva.<\/p>\n<p>Los TBI son complejos y est\u00e1n asociados con un amplio espectro de s\u00edntomas y discapacidades. Pueden variar de leves a graves y pueden afectar la funci\u00f3n f\u00edsica, cognitiva y emocional del paciente. Algunas TBI pueden tener efectos de por vida.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;La mayor\u00eda de las TBI que ocurren cada a\u00f1o son leves y las conocemos como conmociones cerebrales&#8221;, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/david-gealt-do\">David B. Gealt, DO<\/a>, director del Programa de conmociones cerebrales y subdirector de medicina deportiva en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cEs importante buscar atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica para cualquier TBI, particularmente si los s\u00edntomas persisten o empeoran. Adem\u00e1s, si ha tenido una conmoci\u00f3n cerebral previa, su cerebro puede ser m\u00e1s vulnerable a otra lesi\u00f3n\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Estos son algunos signos y s\u00edntomas comunes de una TBI:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dolor de cabeza de leve a severo<\/strong> que puede ser persistente<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confusi\u00f3n<\/strong>, que incluye dificultad para concentrarse, problemas de memoria y desorientaci\u00f3n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Amnesia<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>N\u00e1useas y v\u00f3mitos<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mareos y problemas de equilibrio<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Sensibilidad a la luz y al ruido.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Cambios de humor<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>habla arrastrada<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Trastornos del sue\u00f1o<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>P\u00e9rdida de consciencia<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cEs importante tener en cuenta que estos s\u00edntomas pueden aparecer inmediatamente despu\u00e9s de la lesi\u00f3n o pueden tardar varias horas o d\u00edas en desarrollarse\u201d, dice el Dr. Gealt. \u201cLa detecci\u00f3n y el tratamiento tempranos pueden ayudar a minimizar los s\u00edntomas y mejorar el tiempo de recuperaci\u00f3n\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>El diagn\u00f3stico es cr\u00edtico<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Como un sistema de salud acad\u00e9mico l\u00edder, Cooper aborda el diagn\u00f3stico y el tratamiento de TBI de manera integral con la colaboraci\u00f3n de expertos en m\u00faltiples disciplinas. Los especialistas del <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/neurological-institute\">Cooper Neurological Institute<\/a> y del <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/bone-and-joint-institute\">Cooper Bone and Joint Institute<\/a> trabajan en equipo para crear planes de tratamiento individualizados para cada paciente.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLa forma en que tratamos la TBI es \u00fanica para cada paciente, pero generalmente involucra un enfoque de equipo multidisciplinario que puede incluir neur\u00f3logos, neurocirujanos, m\u00e9dicos especialistas en medicina deportiva, fisioterapeutas y neuropsic\u00f3logos\u201d, dice el Dr. Gealt.<\/p>\n<p>Para las personas con trauma en la cabeza que muestran signos evidentes de lesi\u00f3n o problemas sospechosos, el equipo de tratamiento experto de Cooper realiza una evaluaci\u00f3n neurol\u00f3gica, cognitiva y f\u00edsica completa. Si se necesitan neuroim\u00e1genes, Cooper cuenta con instalaciones de \u00faltima generaci\u00f3n, que incluyen las \u00faltimas tecnolog\u00edas en EEG, CT y MRI.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mantente a salvo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No todas las TBI se pueden prevenir, pero las estad\u00edsticas muestran que las ca\u00eddas y los accidentes automovil\u00edsticos son las principales causas de TBI. Aqu\u00ed hay algunos consejos para ayudar a protegerse a usted y a sus seres queridos de TBI:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Siempre use el cintur\u00f3n de seguridad y aseg\u00farese de que los ni\u00f1os est\u00e9n correctamente asegurados en asientos de autom\u00f3vil o elevadores apropiados para su edad.<\/li>\n<li>Use un casco cuando participe en actividades de alto riesgo, como deportes de contacto, andar en bicicleta, andar en patineta o esquiar. Aseg\u00farese de que el casco le quede bien.<\/li>\n<li>Elimine los peligros de tropiezos, como desorden, cables o alfombras sueltas en su hogar para evitar ca\u00eddas.<\/li>\n<li>Instale pasamanos en las escaleras y tapetes antideslizantes en la ba\u00f1era o la ducha para evitar resbalones y ca\u00eddas.<\/li>\n<li>Tenga cuidado al caminar o conducir en \u00e1reas con poca iluminaci\u00f3n o condiciones peligrosas, como pavimento helado o mojado.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Si experimenta una lesi\u00f3n cerebral traum\u00e1tica o tiene s\u00edntomas de un accidente, una ca\u00edda o un trauma reciente, haga una cita con un experto en el <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/traumatic-brain-injury-and-concussion-adults\">Programa de lesiones cerebrales traum\u00e1ticas y conmociones cerebrales<\/a> de Cooper llamando al <a href=\"tel:8565361138\">856.536.1138<\/a> o usando nuestra cita en <a href=\"https:\/\/request.cooperhealth.org\/request.php\">l\u00ednea forma<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March is Brain Injury Awareness Month.
