背景:电动踏板车的用户数量,它提供了快捷方便的移动选择,近年来,随着它们作为共享服务的分布不断扩大,它们的数量急剧增加。尽管事故和相关损坏的数量相应增加,有限的研究分析了电动滑板车引起的新型事故的数据。这项研究旨在分析由于电动踏板车使用过程中发生的事故而导致的创伤特征数据。
方法:对2018年4月至2021年10月因电动踏板车事故而访问我们研究所区域创伤中心的患者进行了回顾性图表审查。提取了头盔佩戴状态的信息,性别,年龄,饮酒状况,事故时间表,事故机制,电动滑板车熟练程度(使用期间),损伤严重程度,严重创伤,杀伤力,入住重症监护室,全麻手术,和创伤区域。
结果:在涉及电动滑板车事故的108名患者中,92名患者没有戴头盔。89例患者(85.2%)为男性。无头盔患者的平均年龄为31.3岁,而戴头盔的患者为34.1岁。事故最常见的原因是缺乏电动踏板车的操作经验和由于障碍物而从踏板车上掉下来(90例)。是否在全身麻醉下进行手术与使用或不使用头盔无关,尽管所有接受面部骨折手术的患者都没有戴头盔。
结论:在电动踏板车事故中,颅面区域最常见,戴头盔是预防颅面创伤的最佳方法。虽然戴头盔是强制性的,大多数接受治疗的患者在受伤时没有戴头盔.因此,迫切需要引入头盔租赁系统,以及严格的法律要求,来改善这种状况。
BACKGROUND: The number of users of electric scooters, which provide swift and convenient mobility options, has increased sharply over recent years as their distribution as a shared service has expanded. Although the number of accidents and related damage has increased accordingly, limited research has analyzed data on the new types of accidents arising from electric scooters. This study aimed to analyze data on trauma characteristics due to accidents that occurred during electric scooter use.
METHODS: A retrospective chart review was conducted for patients who visited the regional trauma center of our institute due to electric scooter accidents from April 2018 to October 2021. Information was extracted on helmet-wearing status, sex, age, drinking status, accident timeframe, accident mechanism, electric scooter proficiency (period of use), injury severity, severe trauma, lethality, admission to the intensive care unit, surgery under general anesthesia, and the trauma region.
RESULTS: Among the 108 patients involved in electric scooter accidents, 92 patients were not wearing a helmet. Eighty-nine patients (85.2%) were male. The average age of the patients without a helmet was 31.3 years, while that of patients with a helmet was 34.1 years. The most frequent causes of accidents were lack of electric scooter operation experience and falling off the scooter due to obstacles (90 cases). Whether surgery was performed under general anesthesia was not associated with helmet use or non-use, although all patients who underwent facial fracture surgery were not wearing a helmet.
CONCLUSIONS: The craniofacial region was most frequently affected in electric scooter accidents and wearing a helmet was the best way to prevent craniofacial trauma. Although helmet-wearing is mandatory, the majority of treated patients were not wearing a helmet at the time of injury. Thus, there is an urgent need to introduce a helmet rental system, as well as strict legal requirements, to improve this situation.
