AB  - Trauma  is  the  most  common  cause  of  death  in  young  people,  and  head  injury  accounts  for  almost  half  of  these  trauma-related  deaths.  Head  injury  severity  ranges  from  concussion  to  severe  traumatic  brain  injury  (TBI).  Concussion  is  broadly  defined  as  an  alteration  in  mental  status  caused  by  trauma  with  or  without  loss  of  consciousness.  The  term  concussion  is  often  used  synonymously  with  mild  TBI.  Grades  of  TBI  are  traditionally  defined  by  the  Glasgow  Coma  Scale  (GCS)  measured  30  minutes  after  injury  (Table  24–7).
