  1. EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN On-person equipment On-site equipment Communication Mock up!

  2. COVERINGS OF BRAIN

  3. Epidural Space Subdural Space Subarachnoid Space

  4. SPACES AND CONTENTS EpiduralSpace - Arteries Subdural Space - Veins Cerebrospinal Fluid

  5. MAJOR STRUCTURES WITHIN SPACES. Epidural space – Arteries Subdural Space – Veins Subarachnoid Space – Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)

  6. Middle Meningeal A.

  7. SUBDURAL SPACE

  8. DURA Arachnoid

  9. General Comments Relating to Concussions Caused by direct force to the head or by ‘impulsive’ force transmitted to the head.

  10. General Comments Relating to Concussions Rapid onset of short-lived impairment of neural function. Acute clinical symptoms are functional, not structural in nature.

  11. General Comments Relating to Concussions May or may not involve loss of consciousness. Is typically associated with grossly normal structural imaging study.

  12. DIRECT

  13. INDIRECT

  14. ANGULAR FORCE

  15. Rotation (Angular) Movement

  16. TRANSLATIONAL FORCE

  17. Acceleration-Deceleration Injury Translation

  18. A B

  19. B A A. Head Hits Object. B. Brain Rebounds

  20. Interference of Neural Function

  21. Unconsciousness ?

  22. 1. Reticular Activating System 2. Cerebral Cortex 3. Brain Stem

  23. Brain Damage FOCAL – can be seen by the trained eye. DIFFUSE – can not be seen by the trained eye.

  24. EPIDURAL HEMATOMA

  25. SUBDURAL HEMATOMA

  26. SKULL FRACTURE

  27. Thickness of skull. • Magnitude and direction of impact • Size of impact area

  28. (signs and symptoms) • Visible deformity • Deep laceration • Depression/ crepitus • Discolouration • CSF from ears or nose

  29. Battle’s Sign • Raccoon Eyes • Halo Sign

  30. Bruising behind the ear on the Mastoid Process.

  31. INTRACEREBRAL BLEED Focal injury involving small bleeds in the cortex, brain stem or cerebellum. Usually caused by a bruise as a result of the head stopping movement and the brain continues moving.

  32. very rare in sports. • direct blow to side of head. • Middle Meningeal A. is severed. 1

  33. May have initial L.O.C. from blow. • Regain and ‘normal’. • 10-20 min. decline. • Headache, vomiting, drowsiness. 2

  34. Decrease consciousness. • Dilate pupil on side of bleed. • Opposite side weakness. • Emergency……. Fatal 3

  35. Caused by acceleration of the head rather than impact. • Three times more frequent than epidural. • Bleed under dura. 1

  36. (Signs & Sym.) • Low pressure venous bleeding clots slowly. • S&S may become evident for hours, days, weeks. • Sometimes accompanied by cerebral swelling. 2

  37. (S&S of Increasing Pressure) Severe headache–Nauseaor vomiting–Confusion or Impairment of Consciousness-Rising B.P.–Falling Pulse–Changes in Emotion–C.N. problems (eye tracking). 3

  38. CEREBRAL CONCUSSION Criteria for Severity Consciousness Mental Confusion Memory Loss Tinnitus Unsteadiness

  39. Posttraumatic Amnesia Retrograde Amnesia Anterograde Amnesia R. Cantu.. Journal of Athletic Training. Sept/01

  40. RETROGRADE AMNESIA “ partial or total loss of the ability to recall events that have occurred during the period immediately preceding brain injury.”

  41. ANTEROGRADE AMNESIA “ a deficit in forming new memory after the accident, which may lead to decreased attention and inaccurate perception.”
