Overview[edit | edit source]

Effective measures for the primary prevention of subdural hematoma include prevention of head trauma (wear a helmet, buckling your seat belt), effective prevention measures for patients who are at risk of falling, and monitoring INR/PTT in patient using anticoagulant drugs.
