What Causes Brain Injury at Kentucky Military & VA Hospitals?

Surgical Errors During Neurosurgery: Brain surgery requires perfect precision. Wrong-site surgery or bleeding can cause permanent damage.
-
Medication Errors: Wrong doses of blood thinners or bad drug combinations can cause brain bleeding.
-
Failure to Diagnose Brain Tumors: Missing signs on brain scans lets tumors grow and cause lasting damage.

Anesthesia Complications: Poor anesthesia can cut off oxygen to the brain and cause permanent harm.
