What is a concussion blast?
But the most common cause of concussion/mTBI among service members who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan is a blast from an improvised explosive device (IED). A blast can result in a TBI even when the head does not collide with an object. Blast can affect the entire body, injuring limbs, eyes, and ears, for example.
When a service member is involved in a potentially concussive event leaders are required to perform?
a. Potentially Concussive Event. Service members involved in a potentially concussive event as described in section 1 of this enclosure are required to rest for 24 hours, beginning at the time of the event.
Which of the following describe a concussion?
A concussion is a traumatic brain injury that affects your brain function. Effects are usually temporary but can include headaches and problems with concentration, memory, balance and coordination. Concussions are usually caused by a blow to the head.
Whats is a concussion?
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury—or TBI—caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or by a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth.
What happens when you are in an explosion?
High explosive blasts can cause skull fractures, fractured bones, head injuries, or any traumatic injury (open or closed injuries, chest, abdominal, pelvic injuries, amputations, spinal injuries, and any others). Structural collapse and entrapment can cause crush injuries and compartment syndrome.
What happens to the neurons during a concussion?
You get a concussion as a result of your brain moving suddenly inside your skull and shaking like jello as it returns to rest. This brain movement hurts your neurons by causing them to stretch and sometimes break. The sudden brain movement causes damage which is labeled as a concussion.
How does a concussion occur?
A concussion is a mild form of traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head. Concussions can also occur from a fall or a blow to the body that causes the head to move rapidly back and forth. Doctors may describe these injuries as “mild” because concussions are usually not life-threatening.
Which of the following are signs that a person may have sustained a concussion select all that apply?
Balance problems or dizziness, or double or blurry vision. Bothered by light or noise. Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggy. Confusion, or concentration or memory problems.
Which of the following could cause shock *?
Shock may result from trauma, heatstroke, blood loss, an allergic reaction, severe infection, poisoning, severe burns or other causes. When a person is in shock, his or her organs aren’t getting enough blood or oxygen.
What is the concussion protocol?
A concussion protocol is an organization’s set of policies, tools, and assessments for caring for a concussion. It outlines how the concussion care team prepares for and responds to this injury.
What causes a concussion?
What are the symptoms of a bomb blast?
Brain Injury Primary blast waves can cause concussions or mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) without a direct blow to the head. Consider the proximity of the victim to the blast particularly when given complaints of headache, fatigue, poor concentration, lethargy, depression, anxiety, insomnia, or other constitutional symptoms. The symptoms of
What are the four mechanisms of blast injury?
The four basic mechanisms of blast injury are termed as primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary (Table 1). “Blast Wave” (primary) refers to the intense over-pressurization impulse created by a detonated HE.
Which is the most common post explosion injury?
The predominant post explosion injuries among survivors involve standard penetrating and blunt trauma. Blast lung is the most common fatal injury among initial survivors. Explosions in confined spaces (mines, buildings, or large vehicles) and/or structural collapse are associated with greater morbidity and mortality.
Who is required to recognize potentially concussive events?
According to dodi 6490.11 deployed leaders are required to recognize potentially concussive events. which of the following are mandatory events that require a dervice member to be evaluated and report? All of these circumstances require evaluation and reporting.
