摘要:

Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is a severe form of traumatic brain injury that is seen almost exclusively following motor vehicle accidents. It is associated with immediate coma lasting from six hours to prolonged coma. The author reviews the mechanism of injury, significant neurological findings, neuropathology, and diagnostic criteria. Priorities for nursing care in the emergency department, critical care, and inpatient and rehabilitation units are outlined.

摘要:

Injury is a major health problem in the United States that has been viewed primarily as a disease of the young. As a result, the devastating consequences of injury on the elderly population have not been sufficietly explored. Proximal femur fractures (hip fractures), common injuries in persons over the age of 65, carry a mild Injury Severity Score but are associated with high morbidity and mortality in the older population. The author provides a rationale based on clinical and research literature for increasing injury surveillance for hip fractures in the elderly in order that injury care and control can be improved.
