Short Review on: Teaching Approach for Head Injury with Epidural Hematoma

Background: Epidural hematoma (EDH) is a traumatic accumulation of blood between the inner table of the skull and the stripped-off Dural membrane. EDH results from traumatic head injury, usually with an associated skull fracture and arte rial laceration. The incidence of EDH is highest among adolescents and young adults and reported mortality rates range from 5-43%. Therefore, we aim to look into the EDH for both medical students and new physicians face in the recognition, diagnosis and management of these conditions. Targeted population: EDH patients who are requiring urgent management in the ED, with Emergency Physicians for teaching approach protocol. Aim of the study: Appropriate identification of EDH patients and management by training protocol to Emergency Physi -cians. Based on the child’s age, site, severity and types of injuries. Methods: Collection of all possible available data about the EDH at the emergency department. By many research ques tions to achieve these aims so a midline literature search was performed with the keywords “critical care”, “emergency medicine”, “principal’s Epidural hematoma in different emergencies”, “cardiac arrest with Epidural hematoma”. Litera ture search included an overview of recent definition, causes and recent therapeutic interventions strategies. Results: All studies introduced that initial diagnosis of different emergencies situations for EDH and their interventions therapy are serious conditions that face patients at the emergency departments. Conclusion: EDH is caused by bleeding in the potential space between the dura and the skull, usually because of traumat ic injury. The Clinical manifestations of EDH are highly variable, and include altered consciousness, headache, vomiting, drowsiness, confusion, aphasia, seizures. Head Computed Tomography (CT) is a fast and accurate method for the detec tion of acute intracranial hemorrhage.
