If you have had a TBI and have had an intubation that worsened the TBI, please give our office a call.
Intubations for People with TBIs Is Controversial
When a person with a TBI needs to have treatment, it may be necessary to intubate the individual first. Intubation means putting a tube into the person’s mouth or nose, that goes into the airways to help the person breathe. An intubation is to support breathing for an individual, who may not be breathing all that well on his or her own. In the case of having a TBI, if the person is intubated, it may worsen the condition of the TBI.
A rapid sequence intubation or RSI for a person with a TBI means that the RSI can definitely worsen the TBI. In those cases, there is even a chance that an RSI can kill a person with a TBI. Let’s review what are the issues of intubation with a TBI. You will need to put on your doctor hat for a few moments here.

Intubation Helps Breathing Functions, But Involve Several Other Organs to Work
An intubation is the insertion of a tube down a person’s mouth to assist in breathing. But the inserting of the intubation tube can cause a number of other issues. When the intubation tube is put in, it can cause and stimulate a parasympathetic response from the person, in the form of a gag or cough reflex. In a person who is up and walking around, able to go out and about, this is no issue. But a person who has a TBI, or who is in a coma, and can’t breathe on his or her own, it is catastrophic. A person with a TBI will have a stimulation that includes:
- Increasing the heart rate
- Increasing the blood pressure
- Increasing the intracerebral pressure
- Increasing the risk of bronchospasms
- Increasing cerebral blood volume
- Worsening hematomas
- Worsening hemorrhage of the brain
- Hypotension
- Increased risk of mortality and death
When the intubation tube is inserted on someone with a TBI, there needs to be a course of sedation, which can also have issues when administered. A TBI patient with sedation needs to be carefully monitored, to prevent other issues from occurring. A person with an intubation and a TBI can also experience a secondary brain injury. This may signal and trigger a medical malpractice claim.
