This 10-hour course covers how to understand traumatic
brain injury in concussion. When there is a head injury inclusive of direct
trauma or coup-contrecoup type trauma the brain can sustain a myriad of
injuries. The primary spine care provider must understand the signs and
symptoms for early detection as this can have either pathological cognitive
sequella or death at the most extreme. This course covers the clinical
examination, advanced imaging and advanced neurodiagnostic testing to
conclusively diagnose traumatic brain injuries and any necessary triage. Also,
this program emphasizes the urgency of triage pending a clinical evaluation.
Part
1: Traumatic Brain Injury and Concussion Overview:. This section is an in-depth overview of
traumatic brain injury in concussion. It discusses that all brain injuries are
traumatic and dispels the myth of a “mild traumatic brain injury.” Also, this
covers triage protocols and the potential sequela of patients with traumatic
brain injuries.
Part
2: Head Trauma and Traumatic Brain Injury Part 1: This section discusses gross traumatic brain injuries from trauma and
significant bleeding with both epidural and subdural hematomas. There are
numerous case studies reviewed inclusive of neurosurgical intervention and
postsurgical outcomes.
Part
3: Head Trauma and Traumatic Brain Injury Part 2: This section continues with
multiple case studies of gross traumatic brain injuries from trauma requiring neurosurgical
intervention and also discusses recovery sequela based upon the significance of
brain trauma. This module also concludes with concussion protocols in traumatic
brain injury short of demonstrable bleeding on advanced imaging.
Part
4: Concussion And Electroencephalogram Testing: This this section covers
concussion etiology and cognitive sequela where gross bleeding has not been
identified on advanced imaging. It discusses the significance of
electroencephalogram testing in determining brain function and pathology (if
present). This module also covers the understanding of waveforms in
electroencephalogram testing in both normal and abnormal scenarios.
Part
5: Concussion And Electroencephalogram Testing Pathological Results: This
module covers amplitude, conduction and conduction delays as sequela to
traumatic brain injury to diagnose concussion and traumatic brain injury in the
absence of gross bleeding and advanced imaging. This section covers
electroencephalograms and event-related potentials which measures the brain
response that is a direct result of specific sensory or motor events. It is a
stereotype electrophysiological response to a stimulus and provides a
noninvasive means of evaluating brain function. In this module multiple case
studies are discussed with ensuing triage protocols pending the results.
