Brain Concussion

Based on the assumption of representativeness, it was reasoned that by determining the degree of confidence which could be placed in the sample studies and by examining for the nature and type of the work that was done, it was possible to estimate the degree of confidence which could be placed in current findings generally. Furthermore, it was reasoned that the nature and type of work that had been done in the sample articles would be representative of the nature and type of work that was currently being conducted in the area.

Given the foregoing, it can be noted that once sample articles are examined and critiqued (discussed in terms of relevant methodological considerations), conclusions are formulated concerning the existing state of the current research.

According to Kolb and Whishaw (1989), brain concussion may be broadly defined as a condition of widespread paralysis of the functions of the b

s reasonable to suppose that none of these people needed hospitalization in the first place. In other words, the nature of their injury called for no real medical treatment. All that really took place is that they rested at the hospital while the others rested at home. Therefore, there was really no reason to believe that their being in the hospital would cause a difference in symptomology. Kraus, Fife and Conroy (1987) conducted an examination of children with brain concussion in San Diego County, California. Three percent of the observed children died at the accident site while an additional 3 percent died in the hospital. Hospital records, death certificates, and coroner's records were used to identify these children. The severity of injury was determined using the Abbreviated Injury Scale and the Glasgow Coma Scale. The researchers observed that in-hospital deaths occurred among those children who received scores of 8 or less on the Glasgow Coma Scale. Indeed, of the group of children who received these scores, the children who died constituted 59 percent of the group. Twenty-three percent of the hospitalized children had fractures of the skull and these were associated with excess mortality; however, the authors fo
