Airbag deployment and improperly restrained children: a lethal combination.
BACKGROUND Airbag deployment is an acknowledged mechanism of serious trauma in children involved in motor vehicle crashes. From a review of national databases, we determined the number and types of fatal and nonfatal injuries to children caused by airbag deployment and child restraint system use. We also reviewed the relevant literature and provide information useful for caregivers and health c...
متن کاملSplenic trauma as an adverse effect of torso-protecting side airbags: biomechanical and case evidence.
Injury mechanisms from frontal airbags, first identified in anecdotal reports, are now well documented for pediatric, small female, and out-of-position occupants. In contrast, torso side airbags have not yet been consistently associated with specific injury risks in field assessments. To determine possible torso side airbag-related injuries, the present study identified crashes involving side a...
متن کاملAbdominal injury with airbag deployment for belted drivers in frontal crashes - biomed 2009.
The risk of moderate or serious abdominal injury is higher for belted drivers in frontal crashes with a deployed airbag than for belted drivers not exposed to a deployed airbag. An analysis of roughly 13,000 belted front seat occupants in frontal crashes from National Automotive Sampling System / Crashworthiness Data System (NASS/CDS) case years 1993-2007 with and without airbag deployment were...
متن کاملSide Airbag Out-of-position Deployments: Thoracic Injury to Stationary and Dynamic Occupants
Injury risk from out-of-position (OOP) side airbag deployment has been assessed using stationary occupant test protocols. However, stationary conditions may not always represent real world OOP scenarios. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of OOP torso side airbag deployment, comparing a stationary test protocol with dynamic conditions. A combination of par...
متن کاملSternal fracture due to airbag injury: case report.
Although airbags reduce the overall risk of injury and death from motor vehicle accidents, the airbag may cause injuries during deployment. We present a case of apparently isolated sternal fracture caused by airbag deployment during a motor vehicle crash and we discuss the ultrasonographic diagnosis. We also examine the mechanism of injury caused by the airbag.
