Abstract
The commonest form of traumatic brain damage is mild traumatic brain injury. When the head is struck by something external, brain tissue and blood vessel damage may ensue, leading to inflammation and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), negatively impacting patient life quality. This paper describes nursing procedure for managing mild traumatic brain injury patients' post-concussion symptoms. A nursing case study is examined of an adult male patient who suffered injuries when a truck tire exploded. He was admitted to Thammasat Hospital's Trauma Surgical Ward, where he presented with headache, nausea, dizziness, exhaustion, and insomnia, among other symptoms. Nursing care was given to the patient with and without medication. The headache, nausea, dizziness, and weariness symptoms were resolved through nursing care and in less than seven days, sleep patterns regularized. This method may help stakeholders treating patients with mild traumatic brain injuries to alleviate post-concussion symptoms through nursing care and achieve greater comfort.
