Lower limb injuries to passenger car occupants.
A detailed examination was undertaken of hospitalized car occupants who sustained a lower limb injury in a frontal crash. The assessment included an analysis of the type, severity and causes of these injuries and mechanisms involved in lower limb fractures. The findings showed that fractures and dislocations occurred in 88% of lower limb injury cases, that more than half were from crashes < 48 ...
متن کاملOn scene injury severity prediction (OSISP) algorithm for car occupants.
Many victims in traffic accidents do not receive optimal care due to the fact that the severity of their injuries is not realized early on. Triage protocols are based on physiological and anatomical criteria and subsequently on mechanisms of injury in order to reduce undertriage. In this study the value of accident characteristics for field triage is evaluated by developing an on scene injury s...

متن کاملAccident and Injury Risks of Elderly Car Occupants
The demographic change and the expected change in driving patterns of elderly require adoption of cars in larger scale to this group than it was the case in the past. This study focusses on the special situation of elderly as car driver (w.r.t. accident risk) and car occupant (w.r.t. injury risks). The main data sources for this study were accident studies from the literature (mainly CCIS and G...
متن کاملMuscle Responses of Car Occupants Numerical Modeling and Volunteer Experiments under Pre-Crash Braking Conditions
Over 30 000 fatalities related to the road transport system are reported anually in Europe. Of these fatalities, the largest share is car occupants, even though significant improvements in vehicle safety have been achieved by the implementation of in-crash restraints and pre-crash driver support systems. Integration of pre-crash and in-crash safety systems has a potential to further reduce car ...
