Idaho: Brain Injury Treatment
Idaho traumatic brain injury victims may also receive surgery during their hospital stay. A device may be placed in the head to monitor intracranial pressure, which if heightened can cause brain damage. If bleeding occurred in the brain, it can be surgically removed or drained. Surgery to remove brain tissue may occur if the brain has swelled to an extreme. Skull fractures must also be repaired, with damaged tissue removed.
The point of these surgical procedures is to ensure that a secondary injury does not occur, blood and oxygen flow to the brain is maintained, and to minimize swelling and intracranial pressure.
Surgical treatment for traumatic brain injuries can be costly. However, when a brain injury is caused by another's negligence, the victim may be able to recover compensation for TBI-related medical expenses, including surgeries.
