Precise definitions vary, but typically, loss of consciousness and post-traumatic amnesia duration is brief (e.g. \u0026lt;30 minutes and \u0026lt;24 hours respectively), and standard imaging is normal. Prognosis in mild TBI is generally good, but disabling persistent symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, affective and cognitive issues are common. A focussed assessment tailored to each individual symptom is crucial for management. Advanced MRI and blood-based biomarkers of mild TBI are emerging and are likely to play an increasingly important role in the assessment of patients following a head injury.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAlgorithm – overview of mild TBI diagnosis, investigation, and management\u003cbr\u003e Epidemiology, definitions, and classification of mild TBI\u003cbr\u003e Clinical presentations and management of mild TBI\u003cbr\u003e Investigations in mild TBI\u003cbr\u003e Pitfalls and pearls in mild TBI\u003cbr\u003e Guidelines.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Accident \u0026amp; emergency medicine [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Accident \u0026amp; emergency medicine\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Accident%20\u0026amp;%20emergency%20medicine%20%5BMMK%5D%22\"\u003eMMK\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52516221387032,"sku":"9781009380096","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/mild-traumatic-brain-injury-including-concussion-paperback-softback-9781009380096","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
