It would seem that our brain threatens to our brain, because he is protected, oddly. It is washes a special fluid that serves as a kind of shock absorber. The brain is covered with several shells. However, despite this, any crank-brain injury may be severe for man consequences.

All brain injuries are divided into open and closed.
Open injuries in which soft tissues are damaged
Heads (leather, subcutaneous fiber, fascia) and skull bones. Closed
Injuries — somewhat less dangerous, but still unpleasant. Them in their
The queue is divided into a concussion of the brain, his bruise and compression.
Among all the injuries of the brain, the concussion occupies the first
a place. And, by observing traumatologists, women occur
more often. Although, maybe they simply turn to professional
Assistance more often.
Causes of brain concussion
Concussion of the brain
may occur as a result of blows, bruises and sharp movements:
Accelerations or decelerations, for example, when falling. Reasons of concussion
Typically, road accidents, household, sports
and production injuries, as well as injuries resulting from
Street Drak.
What's happening?
What exactly happens in
The result of concussing with our brain, doctors are hampered yet
Definitely reply. After all, if you explore the injured brain with
using computed tomography, then practically no
Organic violations to identify will not succeed. Most likely, in
The result of a concussion arise certain problems with the work of the nerve
Brain cells. It may deteriorate their nutrition, easy
displacement of the layers of cerebral tissue and tolerate the connection between some
Brain centers.
From heavy concussion can break
Blood vessels, seriously injured certain parts of the brain.
Home Danger in Cerebral Injuries — intracranial
bleeding because the flowing blood is able to squeeze and soak
Brain structures violating their work and viability. Besides,
injury can lead to another formidable complication — Brain edema.
Brain injuries complicated by shock, and injury proceeds,
affecting the brain barrel where breathing and blood pressure are regulated.
How to recognize?
After
The injury gained often loses consciousness. It can last
from a few seconds to a few minutes. Time spent in this
condition, can be one of the gravity of the concussion.
Extreme degree of loss of consciousness — coma.
With a concussion of the brain
a person often does not understand where he, what happened, and hardly finds out
surrounding his people. Another important feature for which you can
To judge the severity of brain damage, is the loss of memory: remembers whether
man moment injury, and if not, how much is a big piece of time
Before the injury fell out of his memory. The more memory failure, the more serious
injury.
When the victim comes to himself, it can be sick and
tear. Often he pale, he spins and hurts his head, noise in
ears, it is difficult for him to focus, breathing becomes frequent, and
Pulse jumps. In the first hours after the brain concussion from the victim
Expanded or narrowed pupils — Card and brain injury of any degree
gravity leads to a violation of the nerve paths responsible for the work
eye. Surely in the movies you have ever seen how when inspecting a person,
unconscious, doctor directs a lantern beam in the eyes
victim. It is done to determine the reaction of pupils. At easy
Shocking the brain pupils react to light, but sluggish, and when heavier
The reaction is absent at all. In this case, the expansion of only one of the pupils
and the lack of reaction in the second is a formidable symptom and may
talk about serious damage to one of the hemispheres of the brain.
What to do?
At
suspicion of concussion of the brain must be provided to the victim first
help. First you need to provide a person full of peace, lay it
On the bed in a quiet darkened room. Head is better to raise slightly.
Very helpful to apply cold compresses to the head. Many drinks
brain concussion is not recommended. If the victim torments thirst,
Cook him sweet tea. Alcohol him strictly contraindicated!
AND,
Of course, be sure to call the doctor because it is possible that
Brain damage is heavier than it seems at first glance. If
The patient is shocked, after the arrival of emergency closely follow
his breathing and pressure. In case of emergency, start doing
Artificial Breathing and Indirect Heart Massage.
Diagnosis of brain concussion
WITH
Brain shake need to contact a traumatologist. He will examine I
Increases the patient, check the reflexes, prescribes a skull radiography and
When suspected more complex damage to the brain will send
Consultation to neurologist. There is a patient waiting for a full-scale check:
Electricencephalography (EEG), echohetephalography, computer or
Magnetic resonant tomography of the brain, doppler of the head vessels
brain, spinal points. To eliminate problems with
Spine, may require magnetic resonance tomography
Spine.
Treatment
Patients with brain concussion should
Observe bed regime for at least a few days. In this case, it is impossible
Read, listen to loud music and watch TV. Necessary
perform all the directions of the doctor, carefully taking the assigned to them
medicine. By shaking the general condition of the victims usually
normalizes for the first, less often — second week after injury.
Necessary
remember that a person who has suffered even a slight brain concussion,
Pastramatic neurosis or other, more serious
Complications, for example, epilepsy. Therefore, after some time after
recovery should be visited by a neuropathologist and go through
Electroencephalography. Treatment of more serious brain injuries
Depends on their severity. In some complicated cases may
Support to help neurosurgeons.
