What is a Catastrophic Brain Injury?

A catastrophic brain injury is defined as any brain injury that results in permanent loss of some or all brain function. Such injury also includes a period of unconsciousness, in which an injured person is unable to stay awake or normally interact with their surroundings.

The following are some common causes of severe TBI:

• Loss of consciousness for several minutes or hours
• Severe confusion
• Slurred speech
• Continued nausea or vomiting
• Coordination difficulties
• Convulsions or seizures
• Continuous or repeated headaches
• Inability to wake up from sleep
• Being in a coma or a vegetative state

Catastrophic brain injury requires intensive monitoring and treatment. The recovery process consists of extensive hospital stays, multiple surgeries, extensive rehabilitation and therapies, and a lifetime of medications and assistance. Unfortunately, many victims will never fully heal. According to five-year outcome estimates based on the TBIMS National Database, approximately 22 percent of persons with TBI died, 30 percent became worse, 22 percent stayed home, and only 26 percent improved.
