Blunt trauma, also known as non-penetrating trauma or blunt force trauma, refers to injury of the body by forceful impact, falls, or physical attack with a dull object. Penetrating trauma, by contrast, involves an object or surface piercing the skin, causing an open wound. Blunt traumacan be caused by a combination of forces, including acceleration...
Blunt trauma death refers to physical trauma to the body by way of fall, impact, or attack, that results in death. Head trauma and severe loss of blood are the most common causes of death due to blunt traumatic injury. Severity of the injury depends on the mechanism and extent of injury. Typically, a large force applied to a sizable area over sever...
The majority of blunt trauma cases are from motor vehicle crashes and pedestrian injuries often resulting in abdominal injuries. These injuries are typically attributed to collisionsbetween the individual and the external environment, or to acceleration and deceleration forces acting on the individual’s internal organs.
When assessing possible abdominal trauma, physicians look for abdominal pain, tenderness, nausea, and vomiting. In cases of motor vehicle crashes, the presence of a positive ‘seatbelt sign’, appearing as bruising in a horizontal or diagonal band that corresponds to a seatbelt across the abdomen, chest, or neck, indicates an increased likelihood tha...
Blunt force trauma can often lead to bruising and blood clots. Bruising occurs when the blood vessels on the surface of the soft tissue of skin are broken, typically resulting in a temporary discoloration of the skin. Subsequently, the bodyforms clots, or semi-solid masses of blood, as a natural reaction to prevent an excess loss of blood from inju...
If there is blunt force trauma to the head and skull, there may be a risk for aneurysms, or enlarged and weakened arteries in the brain. For example, hitting one’s head against the steering wheel in a motor vehicle crash could cause blunt force trauma to the head. Brain aneurysms due to blunt and penetrating head injuriesare rare, however, and make...
Blunt injury during pregnancy can cause miscarriages, especially if it occurs after the first trimester of the pregnancy. The most common mechanisms of injury are motor vehicle crashes, falls, and assaults. The effects of traumatic injuries on the pregnancy largely depends on the gestational age of the fetus, as well as the type and the severity of...
Blunt trauma refers to injury of the body by forceful impact with a dull object. With blunt force trauma, there can be internal organ injuries that are not immediately visible. Common organs that are affected include the spleen, liver, and small intestine. Injuries to internal organs can lead to hemorrhage and sudden drop in blood pressure. If not ...
The largest increases in trauma deaths were in individuals in their fifth and sixth decades of life. Since 2000, the largest proportional increase (118%) in crude trauma deaths occurred in 54-year-olds. Overall, in 2010, trauma was the leading cause of death in individuals 46 years and younger.

Apr 20, 2020 · According to a study by Brasel et al. 43 in 17,308 patients with hospitalized rib fractures, the average mortality rate was 4%. Considering that rib fractures were quite common in blunt chest trauma, the importance of mortality rate was understood. Isolated rib fractures are not fatal.
