South Dakota: Brain Injury Treatment
The people assigned to help South Dakota traumatic brain injury victims have been trained to deal with such situations. The following are some tasks the hospital staff performs to ensure your loved one is getting the care they deserve.
- Monitor blood pressure, intracranial pressure, pulse and breathing
- Use breathing tubes in unconscious patients
- Clean breathing tubes daily
- Administer seizure medication if needed
- Administer fluid through an IV for liquid and nutrition
- Insert a urinary catheter
- Turn patients to prevent bedsores

The medical staff will also use several tests to help understand the type of brain injury. X-rays, cat scans, MRIs and EEEs are often used.
If your traumatic brain injury was caused by another's recklessness or negligence, you may be able to recover compensation related to your injuries. To find out if you are eligible for a South Dakota brain injury lawsuit, fill out the free legal case review form on the right.
