Acute subdural acute hematoma and severe contusion. he needs urgent surgery. the administrators here have raised about $60,000. they need help with the rest. this is the only ct scanner and a vast region. critical, this machine is critical. ct is critical to providing appropriate care for patients with both head wounds and acute brain injuries. is it saving lives? definitely, absolutely, 100%. there s been a steady flow of soldiers injured near bakhmut. that is the scene of the heaviest fighting. this is a hospital that is trying to deal really with the area they say is 300 square kilometers and. a lot of that is at war. some soldiers are relatively lucky this man was shooting mortars at the russians, who shot mortars back. [speaking non-english] my commander was lucky. he sat in front of me, and i
Pretty significant to the head. but as you mentioned, may have fell, slipped and hit the back of my head. that really hurt but i didn t lose consciousness. i feel okay. if someone were around and saying, hey, look, do you have a headache? is that headache worsening? the person appears confused, they are slurring speech, becoming nauseated or even vomiting. things like that. those would all be indicators that something is happening, that you obviously should get checked out quickly. but again, being alone, not being certain just how significant a blow to the head did i did i just take just go to bed. that s, again, sad but it sounds like what happened here. is it common, sanjay? does this happen a lot? we don t hear about it because it s not a celebrity? it s it s yes, i think it s far more common than people realize, these types of subdural, these types of blood collections on the brain. they can occur in a very acute, sudden way, like it sounds with with bob saget. they can be sort of sort of slower. the blood can be slower accumulating, accumulate over dies and weeks and they can even be chronic.
My head. it really hurt. i didn t lose consciousness. i feel okay. if someone were around and saying, hey look, do you have a headache? is it worsening? the person appears confused, slurring their speech, becoming nauseated or vomiting, things like that, those would all be indicators that something is happening that you obviously should go get checked out quickly. but again, being alone, not being certain just how significant a blow to the head did i just take, i m just going to go to bed. that is again sad. but it sounds like what happened here. is it common? does this happen a lot? we don t hear about it because it is not a celebrity? yes. i tng is far more common than people realize these types of subdural, blood collections on the brain. they can occur in a very acute, sudden way like it sounds like with bob saget. they can be sort of slower, the blood can be slower accumulating, accumulate over days and weeks. they can even be chronic. sometimes we have older patients, people who are quite old and may have hit their head
I mean that s the first thing i think of, and it s quite possible. a plausible mechanism that someone would hit their head significantly enough to cause bleeding either right on top of the brain or between the layers, either subdural sort of hematoma, i can show you an image of what this looks like. but basically what happens is in that sort of situation and it s tough to talk about this way so clinical. but some of the veins on top of the brain, they can tear as a result of that head trauma. hitting your head pretty forcefully on something where you may say that really hurt, if i were in a different situation maybe i d go get it checked out. but instead sounds like maybe he went to sleep thinking it was not that serious. that s what i read in that statement. that bleeding accumulates over the next several hours, and someone loses consciousness and subsequently they die. he was alone so obviously no one checking in on him. so it s an unusual situation a little bit in the way it s sort
There had to be substantial impact. a lot of times, we think about substantial impact of falling down stairs or a car accident, but you could also have substantial impact just from falling from standing, especially if you hit your head on something hard like the floor or the bathtub or edge of a cabinet. in this case, it looks like mr. saget had two different types of brain bleeds, a subdural and hemorrhage. you get pooling of blood in the brain and skull doesn t have space, so if you have a lot of blood, the brain ends up getting compressed and that s why somebody ends up losing consciousness or unfortunately, dying. i think this should be a call for action to be on the lookout. if you have any concerns after a head injury, seek help immediately, especially if you re older, on blood thinners and also if you have any symptoms like blurry vision, confusion, headache, any
Exactly that way when it occurred. what about the nose? i think we have some pictures of the nose. was that nose broken or not. you don t know. it looks like there s a blow to the nose. i don t have any problem with the fact that just because the injuries are minor doesn t mean the next one will not be. we know in retrospect they re minor because he walked up and got away. you don t know that when your head is being hit on the concrete. the next one may kill you. that s a scary thing. you don t have any problem with dr. demaio talking about, saying you get stunned when something like that happens? it s almost like that was a medical thing. that s not a medical thing. how does he know? it could be a concussion. i mean, if your head is getting hit bad enough, but it doesn t even matter. all you have to do is one blow to the concrete and somebody s got control of you. you re worried that the second one could give you a subdural and kill you. do you think that he should
And smashed it on concrete, but getting that injury by having your head hit against cement, could that cause a subdural epidural hematoma? that could depending on how hard the impact was. and that would, in fact, be an injury below the skull in the area where the brain is. correct. which is one of the reasons why you do what you do in your evaluation, to make sure that he can still focus his eyes and still speak because your concern at that point with any head trauma that there may be some brain injury. correct. and your charge then at that point is to rule out that possibility, though you would agree that possibility exists whenever you have an injury like this. it can, yes. closeup of the same thing. you see the swelling again up on this area and right in here.
