Abstract

Air bags have been shown to decrease the mortality and morbidity rates resulting from motor vehicle accidents and they are becoming more common as a standart safety equipment on many cars. Although rare, air bags themselves might become the cause of injury in accidents. We describe a patient who had bilateral severe blunt ocular injury resulting from air bag deployment in a low speed motor vehicle accident and discuss the importance of seat belt use in cars equipped with air bags.

Özet

Hava yastıklarının motorlu taşıt kazalarında mortalite ve morbiditeyi azalttığı gösterilmiştir ve günümüzde birçok araçta standart güvenlik donanımı olarak yer almaktadırlar. Nadir de olsa hava yastıklarının kendileri kazalarda yaralanma nedeni olabilmektedirler. Bu olgu sunumunda amacımız düşük hızda gerçekleşen bir motorlu taşıt kazasında hava yastığının açılmasına bağlı bilateral ciddi künt göz hasarı olan bir olguyu sunmak ve bu olguyla alakalı olarak hava yastığı bulunan araçlarda emniyet kemeri kullanımının önemini irdelemektir
