TBI Education Series available for viewing or free download!
Beginning in the fall of 2004, the UW TBI Model System has cosponsored a video conference TBI Education Series that has presented nationally recognized speakers covering topics on traumatic brain injury research, education and prevention. The events were open to anyone with an interest in the treatment and care of TBI survivors, and included a question and answer session following each presentation. Community-based providers, state agency personnel, family members, and the general public who work with or have an interest in traumatic brain injuries were encouraged to attend. The UW TBIMS co-sponsored this series in cooperation with the Department of Social Health Services, Aging & Disabilities Service Administration, Lead Agency-Washington State Traumatic Brain Injury Grant. (HRSA Grant # H21-MC000620200). Recording of these presentations can now be viewed or downloaded through the National Clearinghouse for Rehabilitation Training Materials. Click on the title below to view or download.
Please note: In order to continue offering educational TBI videos, we need to show our funding sources that consumers are watching and benefiting from them. After watching a video, please complete our two-minute survey. Thank you!
Pediatric TBI: Transitions to School and Community-
This session is directed at teachers, social workers and other social service providers as well as the families of TBI patients. We provide information about pediatric TBI and recovery and accessing community and school resources. The session will pay particular attention to the transition of pediatric TBI patients from hospital to school and from school to the community.

Community Resources for TBI: The Present and the Possible-
This session is directed at case managers, social workers and other social service providers. We will introduce the TBI Toolkit designed to help professionals provide support to persons with TBI and family members by providing information about TBI, recovery and accessing resources. The second part of the session will examine a prototype of how an intensive day program for younger adults was developed from the senior services community. Discussion and state-wide brainstorming about present resources and future possibilities will follow.

Brain Anatomy and Function
Types of Brain Injury
There are two broad classifications of traumatic brain injury: open and closed. Open head injury occurs when the skull is penetrated by a sharp instrument (such as a knife) or an explosive missile (such as a bullet or shell fragments). In penetrating head injuries, tissue damage will be found at the point of penetration and surrounding the path of the intruding object. Consequences of an open head injury can be swelling, lacerations from skull fragments, and vulnerability to infection and further injury.
Closed head injury is primarily caused by a blunt impact or blow to the head without penetrating the skull. The most common form of brain damage is caused by closed head injury. Consequences of a closed head injury can be swelling, increased intercranial pressure, and tissue compression.
More specific types of brain injury are:
1. A laceration or tearing of the brain, usually from a skull fracture or gunshot wound, results in rupture of large blood vessels with bleeding into the brain and subarachnoid space. This can result in hematomas, edema and increased intercranial pressure. Objects (e.g. bullets) can also ricochet within the skull, which can widen the area of damage.
2. A coup-contrecoup injury describes contusions that are both at the site of the impact and on the complete opposite side of the brain.
3. A contusion is a visible bruise (bleeding) on the brain.
4. Hematomas are a swelling or mass of blood in the brain caused by a break in a blood vessel. An epidural hematoma is above the dura mater, a subdural hematoma beneath the dura, subarachnoid between the arachnoid membrane and the pia mater, and intracerebral a hemmorrhage localized to one area of the brain.
Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) is caused by strong rotational forces of the head, such as with a car accident. The unmoving brain lags behind the movement of the skull, causing brain structures to tear. There is extensive tearing of nerve tissue throughout the brain which can disrupt the brain?s regular communication and chemical processes. This "chemical cascade" can cause additional injury.
Chemical cascade flash video: click here
Concussions are caused when the brain receives trauma from an impact, sudden momentum or movement change. The blood vessels in the brain may stretch and cranial nerves may be damaged. A person may or may not experience a brief loss of consciousness (not exceeding 20 minutes). They may remain conscious, but feel ?dazed?.
Anoxic brain injury occurs when the brain does not receive any oxygen. Cells in the brain need oxygen to survive and function.
Hypoxic brain injury results when the brain receives some, but not enough oxygen. |
