If you see a cracked windshield in a MVC... what will the pt represent with? - Answer
Bruised or lacerated head or face. Brain injury, *cervical spine injury (always until

If you see a deformed steering column in a MVC... what will the pt represent with? -
Answer Bruised neck, bruised chest. Sternal or rib fracture, flail chest, myocardial
contusion, *pericardial tamponade, pneumo/hemothorax, aortic tear.
If you see a deformed dashboard in a MVC... what will the pt represent with? - Answer
Bruised abdomen, bruised knee, misplaced kneecap. Ruptured spleen, liver, bowel,
diaphragm. Fractured patella, dislocated knee, *femoral fracture, dislocated hip.
If you see the rear end of the vehicle is damaged in a MVC... what will the pt represent
with? - Answer Secondary anterior injuries, esp if the pt wasn't restrained. "Wiplash"
injuries, *coup contrecoup injury.
Phases of Deceleration - Answer 1) Deceleration of the vehicle, occurs when the
vehicle strikes another object & comes to a stop. 2) Deceleration of occupant, which
starts during sudden braking & continues through the whole crash. 3) Deceleration of
internal organs, that consist of internal organs that continue forward momentum until
they're stopped by anatomical restraints. 4) Secondary collisions, which occur when a
vehicle occupant is hit by objects moving within the vehicle (loose objects). 5) Additional
impacts, that the vehicle may receive when it is hit by a second vehicle or is deflected
into another.
Velocity - Answer "Speed kills"- causes more damage than mass.
Seat Belt Use - Answer All arguments against seat belt use are unfounded.
Airbag Injuries - Answer Common injuries include abrasions to the face, chest and
arms. Minor corrosive effects can occur because of the cornstarch on the airbag, and it
may irritate the skin.
Down and Under Pathway - Answer Occupant slides under the steering wheel or the
dash. The knees hit the dashboard, and transmit energy up the leg, to the femur/pelvis.
If the feet are locked in place, it can cause femur fractures.
