A catastrophic injury is one of the most devastating experiences that a person can endure. Catastrophic injuries are different from other types of injuries in that they are often permanent in nature. Therefore, while it may not be possible to recover fully from one, many catastrophic injury victims still make significant strides in their recovery with proper care and treatment.
Learn about several types of treatment options available to catastrophic injury victims.
Treatment Options for Catastrophic Injury Victims
It’s vital that catastrophic injury victims receive high-quality medical treatment and rehabilitative care so they have the best chance of regaining what they had lost in their accident.
Below are some common treatments for those who have suffered devastating injuries.
Surgery
Surgery may be a viable option for those strong enough to undergo such a procedure. Severe burn injury victims, for example, may undergo surgical procedures to have dead skin removed or to reconstruct damaged features.
Therapy
There are many different types of therapies that can benefit catastrophic injury victims physically and emotionally. Physical therapy, for example, is commonly used for those who have experienced devastating brain injuries or amputations.
Cognitive or occupational therapy, on the other hand, can be beneficial for those who need help adjusting their speech or self-care abilities after a brain injury or another traumatic event.
Medication
Many catastrophic injury victims will need to take medications in order to manage the symptoms that accompany such an injury, such as seizures, personality changes, mood disorders, and more.
