Airbag-induced injury fatality is increasing in frequency. We present the case of a 6-year-old passenger who sustained a fatal atlanto-occipital dislocation associated with airbag deployment in a low-speed motor vehicle crash. The current literature regarding airbag fatalities and methods to ameliorate airbag-induced injury are reviewed.

The traditional acid-base paradigm used to address trauma patients is one of hypoperfusion-induced cellular hypoxia with the generation of lactate as a byproduct of anaerobic respiration. Evidence is mounting that the metabolic acidosis identified in trauma patients may be due only partly to lactate

OBJECTIVE To develop a model introducing medical students (MS) to the continuing medical education (CME) process while simultaneously developing a curriculum to enhance the relevant surgical anatomy knowledge base of the advanced prehospital care provider. METHODS A CME curriculum for teaching human anatomy was developed and approved by the governing state agencies for prehospital education. The curriculum focused on structures relevant to the prehospital care of the trauma patient in a case based format using common scenarios presented by surgery and emergency medicine faculty. Five year-one medical students who completed gross anatomy served as teaching staff and were given a structures list one week prior to the CME course. Human cadavers were prosected by the medical students prior to the CME program under the guidance of the surgical faculty. Course attendees and medical student staff were anonymously surveyed at the end of the program (rating scale 1 = low to 5 = high). Prehospital providers were given a multiple-choice posttest and surveyed at 3 months after the course with regard to applicability to their current practice. Data are means +/- SD. RESULTS Nineteen licensed practicing paramedics attended the course. All of the paramedics scored above the 85% passing cutoff on the posttest (95. 6% +/- 6.2%). Instructor qualities were rated highly (4.62 +/- 0.49) with no instructor rating less than a 3. MS believed themselves well prepared to teach (5 +/- 0), and spent 2 +/- 0.81 hours in preparation. They were only infrequently faced with questions they were not well prepared to answer (1.25 +/- 0.5) and would uniformly participate in CME offerings in the future (5 +/- 0). The CME program improved the MS view of CME (3 +/- 0), prehospital education (3 +/- 1.4), and the surgeon as educator (3.25 +/- 1.5). At 3 months, the paramedics felt that the CME program significantly impacted the care they rendered (4.37 +/- 0.76), and improved their understanding of injury complexes (4.53 +/- 0.61), and resuscitation (4.26 +/- 0. 73). The cadaver course was uniformly recommended to coworkers (5 +/- 0). CONCLUSIONS This model provided prehospital care providers direct contact with clinically relevant human anatomy, enhanced their understanding of pertinent anatomy, and positively impacted their patient care. MS were introduced to the CME process and found it to be one with which they would become reinvolved. Furthermore, the MS felt prepared to present human anatomy, met the expectations of the course attendees, improved their understanding of prehospital education, and positively altered their perception of the surgeon as an educator. This process holds promise as both a model for prehospital education and as a tool for integrating MS into the role of allied health educator early in their career.

Objective: This review provides an overview of what is known about violent injury requiring critical care, including child physical abuse, homicide, youth violence, intimate partner violence, self-directed injury, firearm-related injury, and elder physical abuse. Data Sources: We searched PubMed, Scopus, Ovid Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews, and the National Guideline Clearinghouse. We also included surveillance data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Trauma Data Bank. Study Selection: Search criteria limited to articles in English and reports of humans, utilizing the following search terms: intentional violence, intentional harm, violence, crime victims, domestic violence, child abuse, elder abuse, geriatric abuse, nonaccidental injury, nonaccidental trauma, and intentional injury in combination with trauma centers, critical care, or emergency medicine. Additionally, we included relevant articles discovered during review of the articles identified through this search. Data Extraction: Two hundred one abstracts were reviewed for relevance, and 168 abstracts were selected and divided into eight categories (child physical abuse, homicide, youth violence, intimate partner violence, self-directed injury, firearm-related injury, and elder physical abuse) for complete review by pairs of authors. In our final review, we included 155 articles (139 articles selected from our search strategy, 16 additional highly relevant articles, many published after we conducted our formal search). Data Synthesis: A minority of articles (7%) provided information specific to violent injury requiring critical care. Given what is known about violent injury in general, the burden of critical violent injury is likely substantial, yet little is known about violent injury requiring critical care. Conclusions: Significant gaps in knowledge exist and must be addressed by meaningful, sustained tracking and study of the epidemiology, clinical care, outcomes, and costs of critical violent injury. Research must aim for not only information but also action, including effective interventions to prevent and mitigate the consequences of critical violent injury.

Metabolic acidosis is a common finding after cardiac arrest. Until recently this acidosis was mainly attributed to lactate. The physico-chemical approach to acid–base balance permits the detection of previously unmeasured ions. These ions have been shown to affect the acid–base status of patients.
