South Dakota: Brain Injury Symptoms

People who experience traumatic brain injuries are brought to the hospital for evaluation. A doctor may perform an x-ray, MRI or cat scan to help find brain swelling, fractures or tissue damage. The doctor may also present the South Dakota brain injury victim with a series of questions to grasp the extent of the injury. He or she may ask the patient for the date, where they are located and ask the patient to wiggle their toes or hold up three fingers. Physicians also use the Glasgow Coma Scale to determine the patient’s level of consciousness. Depending on the results of the various scans doctors perform, they may employ other techniques such as an angiogram to examine blood vessels in the brain; ICP monitor to measure intracranial pressure; and EEG to measure electrical activity in the brain.
