Caring for Traumatic Brain Injury Patients: Australian Nursing Perspectives
1World Federation of Neuroscience Nurses; Neuroscience, Royal North Shore Hospital, Pacific Highway, St. Leonard's, Sydney, New South Wales 2065, Australia.
Abstract:
Each year, millions of people suffer traumatic brain injury (TBI). It is not inherent to any country or group of people. It occurs as a result of falls, combat situations, sports injury, schoolyard playgrounds, and car accidents. It does not discriminate with age or status. Cost implications for health care settings and individuals are substantial. Management requires prompt neurologic assessment by a highly specialized multidisciplinary team of neuroscience practitioners. It is important to understand normal brain anatomy and physiology to identify what is unusual or abnormal. Keen observational skills and constant questioning aid in early detection of neurologic deterioration.
