Too often I see first responders who are not checked for a concussion at an emergency after a OIS, traffic crash or fall. Please start demanding to have all first responders checked for this when at the hospital. Here is a new easy way to be checked.
New testing options could change the way concussions are assessed, and that could have big implications for the future.
Abbott has an i-STAT TBI test cartridge makes it easier for doctors to say whether you need a CT scan or additional evaluation. Here’s how it works:
i-STAT TBI test cartridge runs on a portable, hand-held instrument, and can be used in emergency rooms, urgent cares and even nursing homes.
When you experience a hit or blow to the head, there are two proteins found in your brain that are then released into the bloodstream. Those proteins are called biomarkers.
With just two drops of blood, our test can detect those biomarkers to help a clinician understand if your brain has been injured.
The test produces lab-quality results in approximately 15 minutes. If the hospital does not have this, please do the tests that are generally completed.
Get checked to help you get the best treatment to recover. Get checked out.

It laid everything out in a way that actually made sense and helped me avoid wasting time on places that weren’t a good fit. I’m honestly grateful for how much stress it saved me.
