摘要:

The compulsory wearing of seat belts, first introduced in the world in Victoria in 1970, has effectively reduced the number of deaths and injuries by approximately one‐third for car occupants involved in motor vehicle crashes. Initially, the legislation did not apply to children under the age of eight years, but in 1975 a further law was introduced banning children from the front seat of any vehicle unless properly harnessed. Seat belts offer the best protection for front seat drivers and passengers involved in frontal impacts, but offer less protection to the recipient of a side impact. Ten per cent of car. occupants admitted to hospital after a frontal impact show injuries, mostly minor, directly attributable to the wearing of seat belt

摘要:

Alcohol is a major contributing factor in over one‐third of all road fatalities in this community. Almost half the fatalities occur in people aged less than 25 years of age. Results of recent compulsory blood test legislation in Australia and New Zealand are presented and provide incontrovertible evidence of the vast extent of the problem of alcohol on the road. The social and drinking profiles of road crash casualties with blood alcohol concentrations greater than. 05 g/100 ml differ from those of other casualties. Countermeasures used in the control of this epidemic include legislation, improved community education, and greater awareness of the need to rehabilitate rather than to penaliz

摘要:

During the period June 1971 to June 1973, the injuries of 34,378 persons involved in accidents attended by ambulance officers, and treated by hospitals, together with the injuries received by 1,699 victims investigated by coroners, were analysed. Clear‐cut injury patterns emerged for different types of road users. Pedestrians in general suffered injuries of greater severity than cyclists, who in turn had injuries of greater severity than vehicle occupants. The extent to which car occupant injury patterns are modified by seat belts is demonstrated. Injuries suffered by the wearers of seat belts occur less frequently, and are less severe, less likely to prove fatal, and less likely to cause long stays in hospital

摘要:

Flail chest injuries are traditionally managed by long‐term artificial ventilation, which in itself is hazardous and expensive. A more conservative therapeutic regime is described, and the results of this regime are compared with those following the previous traditional regime used in the Respiratory Unit, Royal Brisbane Hospital. The place of artificial ventilation in relation to spontaneous ventilation is redefined in the context of this new regim
