South Dakota: Brain Injury Treatment
The beginning of TBI treatment begins when the South Dakota brain injury victim enters the hospital. The trauma staff will administer resuscitation procedures, monitor vital functions and respond to possible life-threatening changes. The patient may need surgery, such as removing extra blood or fluid from the brain or lifting bone after a depressed skull injury. Once the patient is stabilized, he or she will be transferred to a specialized trauma care unit. Care will then be provided by a critical care nursing staff to monitor the patient for pain and vital signs. A respiratory therapist and psychologist may also be present. A trauma social worker may also be brought in to help the family.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury, you may be able to recover compensation to cover the costs of TBI treatment.
