Emva kokuba ukungqubana kwemotongokwemvelo abazali bagxila kakhulu kwimingxunya ebonakalayo, efana nemivumbo kunye namanxeba, anokucocwa aze acocwe. Nangona kunjalo, enye yezona mingxunya zinzima umntwana anokuzifumana kwingozi kukungqubana kwemithambo yegazi, uhlobo oluthile lwe- ukulimala kwengqondo ebuhlungu (TBI), engenazo iimpawu ezibonakalayo kwaphela kwaye inokwenza umonakalo ngokuzolileyo ngelixa wonke umntu ecinga ukuba umntwana uphilile.

Inyaniso kukuba, ukuxhuzula kwabantwana kuhlala kuphoswa, kungaqondwa kakuhle, kwaye akuxatyiswa kangako ziinkampani zeinshorensi. 

Kutheni i-Concussion yomntwana ibukeka yahlukile

Xa becinga ngesifo sokuxhuzula ingqondo, uninzi lwabantu lucinga ukuba umdlali ozamazamayo umi ecaleni, nto leyo enokuba yinyani, kodwa ayibonisi umfanekiso opheleleyo wabantu abadala, nabantwana, ikude kakhulu nenyaniso.

Kubantwana, ingakumbi abancinci, ingqondo isakhula. Oku kuyenza ibe sesichengeni sokwenzakala kwaye kuthetha ukuba iimpawu zokuxhuzula kwengqondo zingaba zingabonakali, zilibaziseke, kwaye zibangelwa lula yenye into. Umntwana omncinci akanakukuxelela ukuba ukukhanya kuvakala kuqaqambile kakhulu okanye ukuba ukucinga kuvakala kunzima kunesiqhelo. Umntwana okwiminyaka yokufunda esikolweni usenokungaqondi ukuba kukho into engalunganga. Umntwana okwishumi elivisayo unokuzinciphisa iimpawu ukuze angaphoswa ngumdlalo okanye ashiyeke emva esikolweni.

Kwakhona kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuba kwi WashingtonNjengakwezinye iindawo, amagumbi ongxamiseko ahlala ehlanza abantwana ngokusekelwe ekubeni bengenazo iziphumo ezibonakalayo okanye iziphumo eziqhelekileyo ze-CT. Oko kukuhlolwa okufanelekileyo, kodwa akufani novavanyo lokuxhuzula. Ukuhlolwa okuqhelekileyo ngobusuku bengozi kusenokungathinteli ukuxhuzula, kwaye abazali abaxelelwa ukuba umntwana wabo "uphilile" kwi-ER ngamanye amaxesha bachitha iiveki bezibuza ukuba kutheni umntwana wabo esokola esikolweni, elele kakubi, okanye enomsindo ongenakuchazwa.

Iimpawu eziqhelekileyo zokuxinwa kwengqondo ebantwaneni ziquka:

  • Ukucaphuka okungaqhelekanga, ukuxakeka, okanye ukukhala, ingakumbi kwiintsana kunye nabantwana abancinci
  • Utshintsho kwiindlela zokulala, nokuba ulele ngaphezu kwesiqhelo okanye ukuba nengxaki yokulala
  • Uvakalelo kukukhanya okanye kwingxolo
  • Intloko ebuhlungu, umntwana omncinci anokuyiveza nje ngokuba akafuni kuchukunyiswa entloko
  • Ubunzima bokugxila okanye ukwehla okubonakalayo kwindlela yokusebenza esikolweni
  • Iingxaki zememori, kuquka ukulibala ingozi ngokwayo
  • Isihlunu okanye ukuhlanza
  • Zibonakala zinkungu, zicotha, okanye azifani nazo

Okubalulekileyo kukuba, uninzi lwezi mpawu azibonakali kwangoko. Akuqhelekanga ukuba umntwana abonakale ephilile kakuhle kwiiyure emva kwengozi, aze atshintshe kakhulu kwimo yengqondo, ebuthongweni, okanye ekusebenzeni kwakhe kwiintsuku ezilandelayo. Ukubhala phantsi olo tshintsho njengoko luvela, kunye nemihla, yenye yezona zinto zibalulekileyo umzali anokuzisebenzisa.

Iziphumo Zexesha Elide Zokungqubana Okunganyangwanga

Kubantwana, ukungakwazi ukujongana nengxaki yokuphefumla okanye ukungaphathwa kakuhle akuyongxaki yexesha elifutshane. Ngenxa yokuba ingqondo isakhula kwaye isenza unxibelelwano olubalulekileyo, ukungakwazi ukujongana nengxaki yokuphefumla kunokuba nemiphumo echaphazela ubutsha kunye nobudala.

Abantwana abangaphumli ngokwaneleyo, abangajongwayo, kwaye ababuyeli kancinci kancinci kwimisebenzi yabo basengozini enkulu yokuba ne-post-concussion syndrome, imeko apho iimpawu ziqhubeka iiveki okanye iinyanga emva kokwenzakala kokuqala. 

Kukwakho nenkxalabo kuluntu lwezonyango malunga ne-second-impact syndrome, imeko enokuba yintlekele enokwenzeka ukuba ukwenzakala kwentloko yesibini kwenzeka ngaphambi kokuba eyokuqala iphole ngokupheleleyo. Ubungqina lusaqhubeka, kodwa umgaqo wokhuseleko umiselwe kakuhle ekulawuleni ukungqubana kwabantwana: umntwana akufuneki abuyele kwimisebenzi yokuthintana de aphume ngokupheleleyo.

Ngaphaya kweengozi ezinkulu, uphando luye lwadibanisa ngakumbi ukwenzakala kwengqondo ebuntwaneni nemingeni yexesha elide kuquka ubunzima bokufunda, utshintsho lweemvakalelo nokuziphatha, ixhala, ukudakumba, kunye neengxaki zenkumbulo kunye nengqalelo. 

Kumntwana ophakathi kweminyaka ebalulekileyo yokukhula, naziphi na ezi ziphumo zinokutshintsha indlela yakhe yokufunda kunye nomgangatho wobomi ngeendlela ezinzima ukuzilinganisa ngokupheleleyo. Loo bunzima bokulinganisa yiyo kanye le nto yenza la mabango kube nzima ukuwaxabisa kwaye kube lula ukuba abanini bomshuwalense bawanciphise.

Kutheni Iinkampani Zeinshorensi Zingavumi Ezi Bango?

Amabango okuxinwa kwabantwana ayinto eqhelekileyo kubantu abalungisa i-inshorensi, kwaye izizathu ziyavakala xa zijongwa. Ngenxa yokuba ukuxinwa kwamalungu omzimba akubonakali kwi-MRI okanye kwi-CT imaging eqhelekileyo, abalungisi badla ngokukhomba kwiziphumo "eziqhelekileyo" zokuxilongwa njengobungqina bokuba akukho kwenzakala kukhulu. Oku kuyalahlekisa. Ukuxinwa kwamalungu omzimba kukwenzakala okusebenzayo engqondweni, kungekhona okwakhiweyo, kwaye ukungabikho kwesilonda esibonakalayo kwi-imaging akuthethi ukuba ukwenzakala akwenzekanga okanye ukuba umntwana akachaphazelekanga.

Abanini bomshuwalense badla ngokuthi iimpawu azicacanga, zigqithisile, okanye azinxulumananga nengozi, ingakumbi xa kukho ukulibaziseka phakathi kwengozi kunye nexesha eziqale zaxelwa okanye zabhalwa ngalo. Basenokunciphisa ubunzulu bengozi ngokwayo, ingakumbi kwimiphumo yesantya esiphantsi, kwaye basebenzise oko ukuphikisa ukuba amandla abandakanyekayo awanakubangela ukwenzakala kwengqondo. Le ngqiqo ayikhathaleli into yokuba ingqondo yomntwana ekhulayo isengozini enkulu kwimiphumo ehlala ihleli yokwenzakala ngenxa yokuxhuzula kwengqondo kuneyomntu omdala, kwaye akukho mda ukhuselekileyo wempembelelo xa kufikwa kwingqondo ekhulayo.

phantsi Washington umthetho, abanini bomshuwalense kufuneka benze uphando olufanelekileyo kuyo yonke ibango ngaphambi kokuba balikhanyele okanye balinciphise. Xa umlungisi elahla ibango le-TBI yabantwana ngokusekelwe kukungabikho kweziphumo zomfanekiso kuphela, ngaphandle kokuqwalasela ukuqonda okuqinisekileyo kwezonyango malunga nendlela esebenza ngayo i-concussion, oko akuhambelani noko kufunwa ngumthetho. Akusoloko kufikelela kwinqanaba lokuba ukholo olubi, kodwa luhlobo lokuziphatha olukwaziyo ukuphikiswa ligqwetha elinamava.

Mhlawumbi eyona nto icaphukisayo kukuba, iinkampani zeinshorensi zihlala zingavumi ukuhlawula iziphumo zexesha elide zokungqubana kwengqondo ebuntwaneni kuba ezo ziphumo zisenokungabonakali ngokupheleleyo kangangeminyaka. Ukuxabisa ibango lomntwana onekamva lezemfundo nelophuhliso elisaqhubeka kufuna amava, iingcali ezifanelekileyo, kunye nokuzimisela ukurhoxisa. Abalungisi abakho kwishishini lokunika umntwana wakho ithuba lokufumana uncedo.

Oko Abazali Abafanele Bakwenze Emva Kwengozi

Ukuba umntwana wakho ubekwingozi yemoto, nokuba yayibonakala incinci, ukuthatha la manyathelo alandelayo kunokukhusela impilo yakhe kunye naliphi na ibango lexesha elizayo:

  • Funa unyango ngokukhawuleza 

Musa ukulinda ukubona ukuba umntwana wakho uziva njani kwiintsuku ezimbalwa. Cela ukuba ahlolwe ngugqirha ngokukhawuleza emva kwengozi, kwaye ukhankanye ingozi ngokukodwa ukuze ibhalwe kwiirekhodi zakhe.

  • Lumkela iimpawu ezibambezelekayo 

Mjonge umntwana wakho kwiintsuku ezisi-7 ukuya kwezili-10 zokuqala emva kwengozi. Bhala phantsi naluphi na utshintsho kwindlela alala ngayo, indlela aziva ngayo, indlela aziphatha ngayo, indlela afuna ukutya ngayo, okanye indlela aqhuba ngayo esikolweni, kunye nomhla owamqaphela ngawo okokuqala.

  • Landela zonke iingcebiso zonyango 

Ukuba umboneleli weenkonzo ucebisa ukuphumla, ishedyuli yesikolo encitshisiweyo, okanye ixesha elilinganiselweyo lesikrini, landela ngononophelo loo miyalelo kwaye ugcine iirekhodi zazo zonke iindibano zokulandelela kunye nonxibelelwano.

  • Musa ukucinga ukuba impembelelo encinci ithetha ukwenzakala okuncinci 

Amandla abonakala ngaphakathi emotweni ngexesha lengozi awasoloko ebonakala xa ujonga iimoto ezibandakanyekileyo. Ingqondo yabantwana inokwenzakala kwiingozi ezishiya abantu abadala bengenazo iimpawu.

  • Lumka ngabanini bomshuwalense 

Musa ukunika ingxelo erekhodiweyo okanye utyikitye naluphi na uxwebhu oluvela kwinkampani yeinshorensi yomqhubi onetyala ngaphambi kokuba uthethe negqwetha. Ezi nkampani zihlala zikhawuleza ukuvala amabango ngexabiso eliphantsi kunelo zifanele ukuba zinalo.

  • Nxibelelana negqwetha ngaphambi kokuba umthetho wemiqathango usebenze 

In Washington, amabango okwenzakala komntu ngokubanzi kufuneka afakwe kwisithuba seminyaka emithathu ukususela kumhla wengozi. Nangona kunjalo, amabango abandakanya abantwana abancinci aphantsi kwemithetho eyahlukeneyo yokuhlawulisa enokwandisa loo mhla wokugqibela. Igqwetha linokukunceda uqonde ukuba lingakanani ixesha onalo kwaye liqinisekise ukuba akukho nto ilahlekileyo.

Indlela iGqwetha le-TBI labantwana elinamava elinokunceda ngayo

Amabango e-TBI yabantwana afuna indlela eyahlukileyo kunetyala eliqhelekileyo lezicubu ezithambileyo. Igqwetha elinamava kwezi mabango liya kukhawuleza ligcine ubungqina, kubandakanya ukuthumela iileta zokugcina ukuthintela ukutshatyalaliswa kwedatha yesithuthi okanye imifanekiso yokujonga, kwaye liza kusebenza neengcali zengqondo yengqondo, iingcali zabantwana, kunye neengcali zomsebenzi okanye zemfundo ukwakha umfanekiso opheleleyo wendlela ukwenzakala okumchaphazele ngayo umntwana wakho kunye nokuba ikamva linokuba njani.

In Washington, amagqwetha aphatha la matyala kufuneka aqonde indlela yokusebenza ngaphakathi kwemfuneko karhulumente ukhuseleko lokulimala komntu (PIP) umgaqo-nkqubo, ofuna ukuba abanini-inshorensi beemoto bahlawule iindleko zonyango zokuqala nokuba kukho isiphene. Ukulungelelanisa iinzuzo ze-PIP ngokuchanekileyo kwasekuqaleni, nokuqonda indlela ezo ntlawulo ezisebenzisana ngayo nayo nayiphi na imbuyekezo ekugqibeleni, yinxalenye yokuqinisekisa ukuba ixabiso elipheleleyo lebango lomntwana wakho liyagcinwa.

Xa ibango lomntwana ongaphantsi kweminyaka lisombululwa, Washington umthetho ikwafuna imvume yenkundla yesivumelwano sokukhusela iimfuno zomntwana. Olu lolunye udidi abazali kunye namagqwetha ekufuneka balulandele kunye, kwaye sesinye isizathu sokuba ukuba neengcali ezinamava kubalulekile kwezi meko.

Nxibelelana neGqwetha elinamava lokwenzakala kwengqondo (TBI)

Ukuba umntwana wakho wenzakele kwingozi yemoto kwaye unenkxalabo malunga nokwenzakala entloko, fowunela iofisi yethu ephambili ku 800.273.5005 okanye uthumele i-imeyile kumagqwetha ethu ku . 

Siyakumema ukuba uqhagamshelane nathi ukuze ufumane ingcebiso yasimahla. Akukho ndleko kwaye akukho xanduva. Silapha ukuze siphendule imibuzo yakho kwaye sikuncede uqonde ukhetho lwakho.

I-GLP Attorneys isebenza ngokuthe ngqo neengcali zengqondo kunye neengcali ze-neurologists ezigxile ekunyangeni nasekubhaleni iingxelo zokulimala kwengqondo. Sizisa amava ethu kunye nempumelelo yethu yangaphambili kuyo yonke ukulimala kwengqondo ebuhlungu ityala ngaphakathi kwenkampani.
