I am not a med student, just a loved one of a severe tbi with coma patient. This is very easy for me to understand. Thank you for this video. All I do lately is watch these types of videos and read articles....
I fell from a tall ladder, reportedly, while painting the back of my house. I was alone, and sustained a severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), 2 types of brain bleeds, closed fractures of my skull, shoulder blade, and several ribs - which punctured a lung and had to be drained. I was put into a drug induced coma, and of course, do not remember anything about that time, the accident, or the first 7-10 days. My breathing was controlled and when I was brought out of the coma, my first memory was a few seconds, that I couldn't speak, due to the tubes in my throat, and I couldn't remove them, as I remember staring at my hands, which were wrapped in cotton to prevent that. I was frustrated and thinking WTF! I did not see or hear what they were saying to me. (There's a video saved of this event, by my family.) - Minutes ago, my sister just called, and my nephew had a headache, went to an Urgent Care facility, where he had an eye drooping, and he was sent to a hospital by ambulance, as he may be having a stroke. Wow.
After my closed head injury... I had tonsillar herniation (not chiari) because the herniation was not on my DTI MRI... DTI read axonal injury. This is definitely like altering
I'm not a med student, however this video helped me to understand why my husband died from a severe head trauma accident more clearly then when the neurologist was trying to explain to me while at his bedside on life-support. I was in shock so was not grasping his words...nor did I want to see the MRI at the time. I commend the Dr's that deal patients that do have a chance of survival and do their best to save a life.
