What are Secondary Traumatic Brain Injuries?

Secondary Traumatic Brain Injuries are the injuries someone suffers after the initial Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The Primary TBI is the force to the head which caused the injury to the brain and therefore the Secondary TBI includes any Brain Damage that occurs during the time period after that first impact to the brain. Statistics show that nearly 40% of all T.B.I. patients die off Secondary Traumatic Brain Injuries not the Primary Injury. After the immediate hit to the brain there are several complications that can arise if the victim is not offered the proper care by the medical physician in Los Angeles.  It is vital that when the paramedics arrive that they stabilize and handle the victim with extreme care and caution. The cause of the Primary Traumatic Brain Injury has a direct effect on the cause of the Secondary Traumatic Brain Injury.

What are Causes of Secondary Traumatic Brain Injuries?

The direct cause of Secondary Traumatic Brain Injuries is the Primary Injury that a person sustains in any kind of a fall, automobile accident, or brutal attack with a foreign object in Los Angeles. But it is the development of other injuries while a person is being treated for their first Brain Injury that can cause the many other Secondary Brain Injuries. Factors such as swelling of the brain, blood circulation, oxygen flow, blood pressure,  and the pressure within the skull are all have to be at normal stages or they will cause Secondary Traumatic Brain Injuries.  For example, if the skull pressure is raised to a high level it could cause a person’s brain to suffer severe damage; either they will be Brain Dead or in a vegetative state.
