Air bag injuries--a literature review in consideration of demands in forensic autopsies.

Abstract:

:Air bags have been implicated in saving lives and reducing morbidity associated with motor vehicle crashes since their introduction in the mid-1970s. However, there is increasing evidence showing that air bags can be a source of injury and even death in certain circumstances. As the number of air bag-equipped vehicles increases, air bag-related injuries have occurred more frequently. Thus, a greater awareness of air bag-related injuries is required in forensic autopsies. Here, we review thoroughly the literature concerning air bag-related injuries with special regard to their nature and causative mechanisms, and summarize air bag-related injuries observed in adults, children and infants.
