Natureza e gravidade das lesões em vítimas de acidente de trânsito de veículo a motor

Abstract

The objective of this retrospective study is to characterize the nature and severity of injuries of hospitalized traffic accident victims using the "Abbreviated Injury Scale" (AIS). Two-hundred and twenty such patients in a trauma reference hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil were assessed. One-hundred and eleven of them were pedestrians, eighty-three vehicular passengers and twenty-six motorcyclists. The most common injuries were of the limbs, pelvic girdle and head/neck. Injury severity in all these patients was AIS = 3. Two-thirds of the forty-five victims who died were pedestrians.

Characteristics and current direct costs of hospital admissions due to occupational accidents in the southwest of Bahia from 2005 to 2007

“…This finding differs from some studies that considered the totality of this type of accident and in which trauma involving the upper and lower limbs showed higher frequencies 30,33 . This difference in results is due probably to the object of research, restricted to transportation accidents due to work.…”

“…Studies on the intake of this substance in the work place or when Rev BRas epidemiol apR-jun 2014; 381-394 commuting to work are rare, however, their effects may represent a risk factor for certain types of accidents, such as transport 9,30 . As for traffic accidents predominated the motorcycles ones, which occurred mostly in males.…”

Vítimas de ocorrência de trânsito submetidas a procedimentos cirúrgicos: características e intercorrências transoperatórias

Polytrauma victims are frequent among those involved in traffic accidents (17) and this finding was also observed in this study (two injured body regions, in average). As a consequence, the service care provided to these patients must be prepared under the perspective of a multidisciplinary approach.…”

Evidências de validade do teste de Pfister: Agressividade e irritabilidade em motoristas

“…Os demais protocolos foram avaliados pela pesquisadora com orientação de uma especialista no teste, devido à ausência e moderada concordância em alguns itens obtidos nas análises entre os juízes. (Almeida & Freitas, 1995;Sallum & Koizume, 1999;Weyll, Silveira & Fonseca, 2005) contribui para a ocorrência (Andrade et al, 2003); e em terceiro, devido à conseqüência do próprio acidente, resultar em maior número de lesões, fraturas e maior probabilidade de fatalidades (Almeida & Freitas, 1995 (Campos, 1978;Rozestraten, 1988).…”

“…Juntamente com a incorporação do automóvel ao cotidiano das comunidades, surge outro importante problema, os acidentes de trânsito (AT) (Marin & Queiroz, 2000 Outro problema nesse contexto são as lesões e às deficiências físicas decorrentes dos AT (Almeida & Freitas, 1995;Sallum & Koizume, 1999;Weyll, Silveira & Fonseca, 2005), a Organização Pan-Americana de Saúde -(1994) afirma que em torno de 6% das deficiências físicas no mundo são causadas por esse tipo de acidente. Destaca-se que as essas deficiências trazem graves danos ao indivíduo (financeiros, familiares, de locomoção, profissionais) e à sociedade (gastos hospitalares, diminuição de produção, custos previdenciários (Rozestraten, 1988).…”
