Brief summary
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability across the globe. Time from injury to treatment is the most critical factor that determines the patient's recovery. Mild TBI with no apparent symptoms are often left undiagnosed, thus delaying the treatment and hence recovery. CEREBO® is a non-invasive, rapid, near-infrared based, point-of-care device that can detect an intracranial bleed at an early stage.
Detailed description
This prospective study determines the usability of CEREBO® to detect the intracranial hematoma. The operators will receive a training session before the study and will be evaluated at the end of the study through a survey questionnaire for ease of use, ease of learning and satisfaction. Each operator will examine at least 10 subjects with CEREBO®.
