A Review of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a complex condition that may have short- or long-term effects on a patient. TBIs have a wide array of associated symptoms and disabilities. These may have a significant impact on the lives of patients and their families. Healthcare professionals should be ready to rapidly assess patients with TBIs so that they can be treated promptly.
This course provides strategies to enhance the knowledge and skills of physicians, registered nurses, and physician assistants in recognizing, assessing, and managing traumatic brain injuries, contributing to improved patient outcomes and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Indicate how to assess and diagnose traumatic brain injuries, using both clinical examination and diagnostic tools, recognizing the signs and symptoms that distinguish mild, moderate, and severe TBI.
Apply management strategies for TBI, including immediate interventions, pharmacological treatments, and monitoring techniques, to optimize patient care from acute to rehabilitative stages.
Discuss the importance of using a multidisciplinary approach in the management of TBI to support recovery, minimize complications, and facilitate patient and family education.
