Since<unk>  injury occurs at the moment of trauma and is over so rapidly, little can be done to interfere with it other than prevention of the trauma itself. However, since<unk>  injury occurs over time, it can be prevented in part by taking measures to prevent complications such as hypoxia (oxygen deficiency). Furthermore,<unk>  injury presents opportunities for researchers to find drug therapies to limit or prevent the damage. Since a variety of processes occur in<unk>  injury, any treatments that are developed to halt or mitigate it will need to address more than one of these mechanisms. Thus efforts to reduce disability and death from TBI are thought to be best aimed at<unk>  injury, because the<unk>  injury is thought to be irreversible.
