Every year in the United States, about 5 million adults and children receive medical services for traumatic brain damage.
More than half a century, new proposals published in Lancet Neurology based on many data and international expert teams present a new framework for more accurate assessment of injuries and how to do better work to care for patients.
The author of the new standard is Dr. Geoff Manley. Manley is a neurologist at Zuckerberg General Hospital and is a professor of neurosurgery at UC San Francisco. He is also a member of UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences.
Manley said the current clinical guidelines are not very accurate.
For many years, the Trauma Center used the Glasgow COMA Scale to evaluate the patient. In general, in general, the measurement device is treated with three categories of TBIS: mild, moderate or severe category, and is subject to treatment accordingly, according to manley. He explained how some patients classified as “severe” TBI often explained how to approach the prejudice of prognosis, and the family is guided to considering the withdrawal of life, and some of these patients have recovered and began to live a complete life, which is promoted to recover some patients diagnosed with “TBIS or concussion” on the other side of the spectrum.
“And we know that in the last decade to 15 years, we know that many people with so -called light TBAs are not mild at all,” the neurologist said.
Sean Sanford in San Francisco. Sanford is a novel and a music review, and is a substitute teacher and is currently receiving a master’s degree in original writing.
He also loves skateboards. Eight years ago, he tried to show a new trick to good friends, but slipped down and hit his head with concrete railings.
Sean knocked unconsciously. When he came, he saw his friends and his wife, Cannes, stood on him and asked who recognized them.
“I keep repeating myself and where we like it? Where are we?” What is happening? “Sanford recalled.
His friends brought him to Zuckerberg. The clinical trial was used to use Glasgow COMA Scale to Sean as a bad concussion. Sean said he would be released at CBS News Bay Area and that the concussion should be able to solve it with rest and time.
But Sanford said the emergency team decided that he would scan his brain before unpacking him. He knew, and he had surgery.
“They sent me to the operating room and called Dr. Manri who didn’t work that day. They called him. They broke the skull and said they would die if they were not treated now.”
Dr. Manley told CBS News Bay Area about how the General of the SF followed the advanced protocol, but he would like to provide better tools with patients located in other trauma centers, especially in rural areas and to provide an accurate opportunity for appropriate evaluation. Some patients with mild or medium TBIs often cause symptoms for a long time after being fired in the hospital and continue to live a weak life without subsequent measures or treatment.
The International Union of experts and patients presented the standard. Manley is one of those authors. The new framework will soon be a volunteer in a trauma center across the United States.
The new standards are related to Manley and the report called “4 pillars.” Clinical tests, biomarker blood tests that can show the level of tissues, imaging, patients with specific levels of tissue damage, patient’s age, gender, mental health, support system and even head injuries.
“We know that the injury is not only bringing it to the patient, but also that the patient is bringing it to the injury,” Manley explained that it included “crystal.”
Sanford needed subsequent treatment. After the accident, he developed epilepsy and depression. He is getting better but very slow. Sanford now meditates and helps us develop homemade products that promote relaxation at Divisadero’s Family Store.
The artist pointed out that “really magic and healing place.”
He is still a skateboard, but now he has always used a helmet.
