For those who suffer from traumatic brain injuries, life is rarely the same. Traumatic brain injuries, TBI, are often referred to as the “invisible epidemic” (CDC). Many disabilities associated with TBI’s are not readily apparent. They range from cognitive, emotional, sensory, and motor damages. A person’s personality may seem to change over time. A person could give in to anger and rage quicker than before. A person suffering from a TBI could have memory problems and find it difficult to retain information. TBI disabilities can cost people their careers. They can also have a substantial impact on social and family relationships.

Traumatic brain injuries often lead to death, leaving paramedics, nurses, and doctors doing everything they can to keep the patient stable. With many brain injuries resulting from car accidents, there is typically a great deal of blood loss medical staff race to stop. Tranexamic acid works to prevent blood loss by promoting clotting. If an individual has suffered numerous injuries and in danger of bleeding out, tranexamic acid is used successfully. However, a Dutch study has shown that giving tranexamic acid for isolated severe brain injuries (no other injuries present) can increase the rate of mortality.
One variable in most isolated TBIs is that there is no risk of bleeding out. The promotion of blood clotting in the brain is sent into overdrive, which can interfere with oxygen to the brain.
The study concludes tranexamic acid should not be used as a universal treatment for severe TBI but should instead be used only if necessary to the patient’s survival.
The CDC has analyzed the effects of TBI on the public, both medically and financially. They have found that TBI is the leading cause of death and disability for young adults and children. The study notes:
The CDC referred to the total financial burden for Americans suffering from TBI as “incalculable.”
