How can I prevent an epidural hematoma (EDH)?

Although it may not be possible to prevent a hematoma as a result of a motor vehicle accident, you can reduce your risk by protecting your head when it’s an option. Always wear a helmet when riding a bike or a motorcycle or when skateboarding or snowboarding. Don’t dive into water that is not 100% free from rocks. If you play high-impact or contact sports, always wear appropriate headgear. Use safety gear if you work off the ground or at a job with a high risk of head injury. Always wear your seatbelt.
