New CDC Concussion Web Page a Good Resource for the Pediatric Nurse

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Pediatric nurses and school nurses on the front lines of keeping our kids healthy probably already know that sports injuries account for a big portion of visits to their office every year. And, a good percentage of these cases are likely to involve some sort of brain injury.

But you might not know the widespread extent of this problem.  So, here’s a head-up: Of the 1 million emergency-room visits per year for traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion, “an estimated 135,000 are sports- and recreation-related TBIs, including concussions, among children ages 5 to 18,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Unfortunately, many of these brain injuries go ignored far too long by parents and coaches — resulting in complications, hospitalizations and even death.  To get the word out to the general public about the seriousness of concussions and TBIs, the CDC has launched a Concussion in Sports web page.

This Web page is loaded with useful information and statistics for consumers, including the basics of how to recognize a possible brain injury or concussion and what to do if a concussion occurs. There are materials on the site directed at doctors, parents, and coaches for high school and youth sports.

But the site is also an invaluable tool for school nurses, pediatric nurses and other healthcare professionals who need to keep on their toes in all of their travel nursing jobs.

Of particular interest to the school and pediatric nurse is the information regarding youth sports and its alarming role in brain-injury rates.

Says the site:

Most sports-and recreation-related TBIs, which include concussions, occur among youth and teens. … Among youth ages 5 to 18, the sports and recreation activities that generate the greatest number of emergency department visits for TBI are popular activities such as bicycling, football, basketball, playground activities, and soccer.

This is a Web page that should definitely be bookmarked before you head to any more 50 States Staffing pediatric nurse jobs!  And  please let us know of any other invaluable job resources you have discovered in your nursing practice!
