crashes typically consist of three separate collisions.
Understanding the events that occur during each
collision will help you remain alert for certain types of
injury patterns. During the first collision, the vehicle
strikes another object. Damage to the car is perhaps the
most dramatic part of the collision, but it does not
directly affect patient care. It does, however, provide
information about the severity of the collision; thus, it
has an indirect effect on patient care. During the second
collision, the passenger collides with the interior of the
vehicle. Just like the obvious damage to the exterior of
the car, the injuries that result are often dramatic and
usually apparent during your primary assessment. During
the third collision, the occupant's internal organs collide
with the solid structures of the body. Although the
injuries that occur during the third collision may not be
as obvious as those that occur during the second
collision, they are often the most life-threatening.
