South Dakota: Brain Injury Treatment
Acute treatment for South Dakota traumatic brain injury victims is used to minimize a secondary injury and life support. Mechanical ventilation helps breathing and keeps the amount of pressure in the head to a minimum. A device may even be placed in the head to control intracranial pressure, which can cause further brain damage if increased.
The patient may also be sedated to prevent secondary injury. This comatose state will help avoid agitation from the patient. Seizure medications will also be administered as needed. Behavioral issues, attention problems and aggressive behavior can all be controlled with medication.
Under South Dakota brain injury law, a victim may be able to recover compensation for medical costs if their injuries were caused by another's negligence or recklessness.
