1 10/10/2017 SYMPTOMATOLOGY OF CONCUSSION: WHAT DO WE SEE WHEN THE BRAIN BREAKS CONCUSSION: WHAT IS IT? 43 working definitions of concussions; most are not evidence-based We do not define concussion neurologically We do not understand the natural history of concussion We have little, if any data on neurobiological recovery following concussion Roni Robinson, MSN, CRNP Nursing Care of Children Network 14th Annual Conference October 20, CONCUSSION Concussion is an evolving injury in the acute phase with rapidly changing clinical signs and symptoms, which may reflect the underlying physiological injury in the brain. Concussion is considered to be one of the most complex injuries in sports medicine to diagnose, assess and manage. A majority of concussions in sport occur without LOC or frank neurological signs. At present, there is no perfect diagnostic test or marker that clinicians can rely on for an immediate diagnosis of concussion in the sporting environment. Because of this evolving process, it is not possible to rule out SRC when an injury event occurs associated with a transient neurological symptom. Concussion in Sport Group, Berlin RD WORKING DEFINITION OF CONCUSSION WHAT DOES CONCUSSION LOOK LIKE? Change in brain function Following a force to the head or body May have temporary loss of consciousness, but most do not Identified in awake individuals by measures of neurological and cognitive function Symptoms: worsens with increase in metabolic demands, improves with relative rest Most people recover quickly, some don t Concussion is a brain injury and is defined as a complex pathophysiological process affecting the brain, induced by biomechanical forces McCorey, et al., Consensus statement on concussion in sport, The 4th International Conference on Concussion in Sport held in Zurich, Br J Sports Med, March 2013 Roni Robinson,
2 CONCUSSION SIMPLIFIED 7 Brain shakes Inside the skull CONCUSSION SIMPLIFIED Symptoms EVERY time you Increase the demands of the brain. Headache LOC Nausea Vomiting Balance problems Dizziness Fatigue Trouble falling asleep Sleeping more than usual Sleeping less than usual Drowsiness Sensitivity to light Sensitivity to noise Irritability Sadness Nervousness Feeling more emotional Numbness or tingling Feeling slowed down Feeling mentally foggy Difficulty concentrating Difficulty remembering Visual Problems 8 2

Takes longer to complete assignments Memory problems Decreased speed of learning Attention deficits Recovery can be set back when a student "pushes through" & develops severe symptoms Highly demanding activities increase symptoms CONCUSSION IN THE CLASSROOM Attention deficits How does it effect learning? Sleep Disturbances Headaches Tardiness Sleep Hygiene No napping in school No napping after school Melatonin EXERCISE Foggy Anxiety Memory Deficits Poor grades CONCUSSION IN THE CLASSROOM How does it effect learning? Memory Deficits/Recall Alternative testing Executive Function Deficits Processing is slowed BUT task can be completed when student is allowed to take breaks Extended time for tests /assignments Attention Deficits Keep student actively involved with multimodality learning CONCUSSION IN THE CLASSROOM Attention deficits How does it effect learning?

12 HEADACHES & HOW THEY EFFECT LEARNING Inhibits concentration/focus Vary throughout the day noises,lights, certain tasks Symptoms management with breaks Younger kids may need scheduled breaks I have a headache. I should take a break. I can t miss more class. ACADEMIC ADJUSTMENTS Pre-printed teachers notes (eliminates looking up and down) Large print (18 font)- easier to track side to side Decrease reading requirements (books on tape) Extra time for tests & assignments Decrease crowding on a page or use reading strip ACADEMIC/STUDENT SUPPORT IN SCHOOL WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THINGS DON T GO AS PLANNED? ACADEMIC/STUDENT SUPPORT IN SCHOOL Return to School Return to Learn Physical school environmen tcognitive barriers PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS: CAN WE MAKE IT WORSE? Activity Restriction Cascade

14 WHEN THE BRAIN BREAKS Factors associated with risk of prolonged concussion also increase risk of depression Sequelae of concussion also increase risk of depression Lifestyle change Cognitive changes Sleep disturbances Headaches/pain Loss of their ideal self Alterations in Cognitive Processing: Greater impulsivity Poorer problem-solving Greater emotional lability Frustrations with cognitive limitations ARE THERE LASTING IMPACTS TO THE BRAIN? Emergence of research linking head collisions with behavioral and cognitive changes Brain degeneration from repeated blows to the head Recent research indicates that small impacts can cause damage as much as big ones, widening the field of concern to young athletes, hockey players and soldiers subject to head-rattling blasts. CASE STUDY: AUTISM 11 yo male Hospitalized for aggressive behavior after minor head injury in school Diagnosis of ASD (high functioning) made 1 year history of behavior changes Discharged and went on to suffer 2 more head injuries Hospitalized 3 more times for aggressive behavior (all while supports/aba plan getting worked out) Family stressors Normal exam in our office; but struggling in every day life/school worsening behaviors Unable to do vestibular therapy worsening behaviors Photographs by Ann C. McKee, Boston University/Bedford Veterans Hospital, CONCUSSION AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH 3-fold increase elevation of mood changes Depression Suicide Risk is increased almost immediately and can persist over long-term Although more severe TBI has greater risk for suicide, the risk from concussion is substantial; multiple concussions also at greater risk Premorbid disorder may predispose to concussion CASE STUDY: AUTISM History of ASD (high functioning) 1 st concussion June 2017 Behavioral health emergency SI repeat head injury CHOP ED Strong family dynamics Evaluation in our office

It remains unclear, however, how TBI in childhood and adolescence is associated with adult mortality, psychiatric morbidity, and social outcomes. Conclusions Given our findings, which indicate potentially causal effects between TBI exposure in childhood and later impairments across a range of health and social outcomes, age-sensitive clinical guidelines should be considered and preventive strategies should be targeted at children and adolescents. Population based registry in Sweden 9% who suffered TBI before 25 yo 77% mtbi/concussion 12 % recurrent injuries Increased risk of impaired adult functioning including: psych diagnosis, lower education, and govt aid Sariaslan, 2016, PLOS CASE STUDY: BEHAVIORAL HEALTH 17 yo female, PMHx PANDAS, Suicide attempt, AMPS, Tic disorder, syncompe Syncopal episode at school with LOC Confused, disoriented, dizzy PID#1 PCP diagnosed with Syncopal episode Increased Has, not feeling right PID#7 PCP diagnosed with headach 86 CASE STUDY: BEHAVIORAL HEALTH 1.
