How does head trauma cause immediate loss of consciousness?

In: Uncategorized [Edit categories]

Answer:

When there's brain injury, the brain will swell, and the blood vessels will leak. which causes increase in the blood and cerebral blood flow to the brain, but as the brain is accommodated inside the skull and it can't be expanded, this will increase the pressure inside, the intracranial pressure, which will interfere with the blood flow to the brain, decreasing it and causing loss of consciousness
