Slip and Fall Accidents Can Lead to Serious Medical Concerns
While many fall accidents in and around Tampa and Hillsborough County only cause relatively minor scrapes, bumps, and bruises, more serious injuries are possible. Internal injuries and internal bleeding are rare in falls, but the August 2014 issue of QJM: An International Journal of Medicine warned about looking for these injuries specifically.
According to the study, falls in the elderly occur so often that emergency department doctors regularly see injuries that are unlikely in most circumstances. Blunt abdominal trauma that happens as a result of a fall can cause a number of injuries with internal bleeding. This includes:
- Liver lacerations.
- Kidney damage.
- Ruptured spleen.
- Damage to the gallbladder.
- Injuries to other internal organs.
Internal bleeding may not always be apparent immediately after a fall, so the study recommends that you have a doctor look for signs and possibly screen for this medical emergency. Symptoms of internal bleeding may include:
- Abdominal pain or tenderness.
- Feeling lightheaded.
- Pale complexion.
- Fatigue/weakness.
