@@arighteousname5882 Dude, TBI is a result of one/multiple concussive impacts to the brain. You can get it from martial arts, sport, or explosives; of many kinds. What they're talking about is, every time an explosive goes off, air gets compressed creating a shockwave. That shockwave is impacting people and causing brain damage. One or more of these knocks to the head can cause Traumatic Brain Injury(TBI). The explosive is not doing anything different in training than it would in warfare or in commercial demolition. Military personnel have been going through this for a long time. They're trying to educate guys on the steps they need to take, that their command might not be stressing to them. Once out of the military, guys with TBI have often been lumped in with guys who have PTSD. Signs and Symptoms can be similar, but since the root cause is different the treatment has to be different. You can eliminate the guess work, if you have good documentation.
@@bdmngs5884 my question was more or less what are the current procedures and or steps to mitigate the after effects of blast from combat. The extent of my post blast assessments were my senior medic asking me to remember some words and that was it. Hell I was back on patrol that night after our medic was digging small pieces of debris out of face.
Thank you for these, deadlifting twice my weight into my late 30s is tight; but pointless if my brain is apple sauce in my 40s.
So where do Blast from IEDs from unknown explosives while in vehicles come into play? Or does that also applied the same with indoors
There's not much you can do about combat other than PPE, but keeping guys off the line afterwards is very important to let the brain heal.
@@SOFLETE but isnt that were most of the blasts that chase TBI come from rather than breaches.

Could someone have a tbi from concussion that went untreated
Absolutely.
I have TBI diagnosed myself doctors don’t care im glad I payed for insurance for 25 years that’s basically useless
I've been a 12B for 10 years and that finger In the ear mouth open thing has been a religious belief for some senior enlisted guys 🤣
I'm so glad that the macho BS around TBI and mental health is finally starting to dissipate
