Air Bags (Airbags)

05/01/1987 - "Occupant restraints, including seat belts and air bags, have been proven highly effective in preventing injuries, yet the specific benefits for the brain, the face, and the cervical spine provided by air bags have not been widely publicized. "
05/01/2013 - "International studies have shown that side airbags are effective in reducing the risk of death and injury, however, serious injuries can still occur even when side airbags deploy. "
01/01/2009 - "Are airbags effective in decreasing trauma in auto accidents?"
09/01/2010 - "To evaluate the efficacy of airbags in reducing renal injuries in MVC, we analyzed renal injury rates in vehicles with and without airbags using the Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network (CIREN) database. "
11/01/2014 - "The aims of this study are to report a blowout fracture of the orbital floor and medial wall caused by being struck by a steering wheel knob of an automobile and to discuss the use of airbags and seatbelts as a preventive measure for orbital injuries. "

10/01/2010 - "Protection against head injuries should not be optional: a case for mandatory installation of side-curtain air bags."
01/01/2008 - "Numerous safety improvements in the workplace, the addition of airbags to vehicles, and the enforcement of speed limits have all helped to reduce the incidence and severity of head trauma. "
06/01/2005 - "The short timeframe surveyed prevents drawing meaningful conclusions about statistical significance, but the graphical representations of the data in this study underscore an urgent need for further investigation based on current trends in order to understand the issue of minor and moderate head injury prevention in regard to airbags."
07/01/2010 - "This case report describes a four-year-old girl (102 cm, 17 kg) who sustained fatal craniocerebral injuries as a result of an inflating automobile air bag. "
01/01/2009 - "Using head injuries in frontal crashes as an example, we focus on simulation parameters for different vehicle models, with and without airbags. "

09/01/1993 - "We also found that the corneal endothelial cell loss caused by the air bag which has bigger inflater and heavier material was significantly greater than that caused by other systems. "
12/01/1993 - "In this study, the authors evaluate corneal endothelial cell loss caused by several types of air bags in the hope that air bag technology may be improved. "
12/01/1993 - "The authors found that corneal endothelial cell loss was correlated with the inflator power of the air bag but not with its weight. "
12/01/1993 - "The authors have encountered a case in which a normal air bag may have caused a driver's corneal endothelial cell loss. "
12/01/1993 - "Corneal endothelial cell loss induced by air bags."

12/01/2013 - "Patients with burns obviously resulting of air bag deployment only were not included in the Burns group. "
12/01/2007 - "The case describes peculiar abrasions to the enamel of the teeth scraped by the air bag, in particular atypic lesions involving the upper arch showing buccal rings of demineralization associated with roughness of the enamel that progressively assume a trend of fine parallel oblique striae from bottom to top and from left to right, as literature describes for cutaneous burns due to air bag insult."
10/01/2007 - "Burns due to the deployment of air bags have been occasionally described in recent years. "
10/01/2007 - "Air bag-associated burn."
02/01/2005 - "A new category of contact burn resulting from air bag infusion."

09/01/2010 - "Bruising and tracheal rupture secondary to air bag deployment have been reported in out-of-position occupants. "
04/01/2008 - "Tracheal rupture after air bag deployment."
02/01/2004 - "To determine the physical and mechanical conditions of an impacting air bag that would rupture an eye with a transsclerally fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL). "
11/01/2001 - "At an air-bag impact velocity of 40 m/s, 3 of 4, 5 of 6, and 8 of 8 incisions were likely to rupture in the case of 4-, 6-, and 8-incision procedures, respectively, leading to likely globe rupture in all situations. "
11/01/2001 - "To determine the physical and mechanical conditions of an impacting air bag that causes corneal rupture in a post-radial keratotomy (RK) eye using a simulation model of the human eye. "
