What is a Subdural Hematoma?
A subdural hematoma occurs when blood vessels between the brain and its protective layers rupture, leading to the accumulation of blood. This buildup of blood can exert pressure on the brain, causing a range of symptoms, including headaches, confusion, dizziness, nausea, and in severe cases, coma or death. Elderly individuals are particularly susceptible to subdural hematomas due to age-related changes in the brain's blood vessels and increased risk of falls.
Understanding Elder Abuse and Subdural Hematomas
Unfortunately, subdural hematomas can also be a consequence of elder abuse, which may take various forms, including physical, emotional, financial, or neglectful abuse. Physical abuse, such as hitting, pushing, or restraining, can lead to head trauma and subsequent subdural hematomas. Neglect, on the other hand, involves the failure to provide adequate care, supervision, or medical attention, which can exacerbate existing health conditions and increase the risk of falls and injuries.
Understanding the Role of Neglect in Nursing Home Subdural Hematomas
Neglect in nursing homes can contribute significantly to the development of subdural hematomas among elderly residents. Failure to provide adequate supervision, assistance with mobility, or timely medical care can increase the risk of falls and head injuries, leading to subdural hematomas. Additionally, inadequate staffing levels, poor training, or improper use of restraints can exacerbate the risk of harm to residents.
