Never seen one Ray From: Accident and Emergency Academic List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Rowley Cottingham Sent: 22 January 2018 12:54 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Missed airbag injury I'm not even sure if this list is still going, but if it is I would be very grateful for some advice. I have been asked if I have ever heard of a late-presenting serious injury associated with airbag deployment. In other words, the person has been checked over at the side of the road and declared fit, but then has had to be taken to hospital and subsequently been shown to have a serious injury such as an intracranial lesion, tension pneumothorax, or similar directly attributable to airbag deployment. This question is particularly of interest in adults as I am aware of the potential for serious injury to children in child seats located backwards in front seats, although, again, I am unaware of the child appearing well and later deteriorating. I have never seen such in my practice and a search of the literature has also proved unrewarding. Has anyone got any information that may help? Kindest regards Rowley.
