Experimental Investigation of Brain Contusion Characteristics and Dynamic Response in Low-age Children Using an Animal Model
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has emerged as a significant contributor to both disability and mortality in pediatric populations, primarily resulting from falls, blows and traffic accidents [1]. In cases of TBI among low-age children, the mortality rate can reach as high as 50% [2]. Notably, brain contusion stands out as the predominant form of TBI in this demographic, with an incidence rate reaching 39% [3]. Given these alarming statistics, it is imperative to investigate the characteristics of brain contusion and the dynamic responses of brain to diverse impact conditions.
