Airbag-Induced Thermal Skin Burns
Two new techniques for investigating the thermal skinburn potential of airbags are presented. A reduced-volume airbag test procedure has been developed to obtain airbag pressures that are representative of a dynamic ridedown event during a static deployment. Temperature and heat flux measurements made with this procedure can be used to predict airbag thermal burn potential. Measurements from th...

We report a case of significant sensorineural hearing loss following airbag deployment in a pediatric patient who presented to the ED on the day of the crash. This report highlights the need for pediatric physicians to be aware of th...
