Hemorragia extradural

Nombres alternativos:

Hematoma extradural; Hematoma epidural

Prevención:

La hemorragia epidural no se puede prevenir una vez que se ha presentado la lesión en la cabeza.

Para minimizar el riesgo de lesión en la cabeza se recomienda utilizar equipo de seguridad apropiado (como cascos de seguridad, cascos de bicicleta o motocicleta y cinturones de seguridad) cuando se participe en actividades que vienen al caso.

Adoptar medidas de seguridad apropiadas como, por ejemplo, no lanzarse al agua si la profundidad se desconoce o si hay posibilidad de que haya rocas; al igual que tomar precauciones adecuadas de seguridad en deportes, recreación y trabajo, así como conducir con prudencia.
