Lucid Interval

Submitted by Kecik on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 12:06. ::

What is lucid interval? I heard 2 people in the train talking about this. So, I thought it's an interesting topic to ask all of you here.

Hi. According to wikipedia,

Hi. According to wikipedia, a lucid interval is a temporary improvement in a patient's condition after a traumatic brain injury, after which the condition deteriorates. A lucid interval is especially indicative of an epidural hematoma. The lucid interval occurs after the patient is knocked out by the initial concussive force of the trauma, then lapses into unconsciousness again after recovery when bleeding causes the hematoma to expand past the point at which the body can no longer compensate. After the injury, the patient is momentarily dazed or knocked out, and then becomes relatively lucid for a period of time which can last minutes or hours.

What if a person is happy

What if a person is happy for a moment and then the next moment he is sad...is this lucid interval too?
