Review of Airbag Injuries: A Sri Lankan Case Series
The deployment of airbags in vehicles has significantly contributed to occupant safety during accidents. This review article discusses their history, evolution, types, chemical composition, mechanisms, defects, safety issues and hazardous practices by vehicle occupants. The evolution of airbags, from early designs to advanced designs is presented highlighting their life-saving impact and defects. The article addresses common hazardous practices by vehicle occupants that could lead to airbag-related injuries such as resting hands or feet on the dashboard. A series of typical and atypical airbag-related injuries from Sri Lanka is given in the latter part of the article. These cases include incidents of metal objects detaching from airbags causing fatal injuries, fractures resulting from improper hand placement during airbag deployment, burns, cranio-facial and dental injuries and so on.
期刊介绍:
The SEAMEO* Regional Tropical Medicine and Public Health Project was established in 1967 to help improve the health and standard of living of the peoples of Southeast Asia by pooling manpower resources of the participating SEAMEO member countries in a cooperative endeavor to develop and upgrade the research and training capabilities of the existing facilities in these countries. By promoting effective regional cooperation among the participating national centers, it is hoped to minimize waste in duplication of programs and activities. In 1992 the Project was renamed the SEAMEO Regional Tropical Medicine and Public Health Network.
