In 2000, blunt trauma injuries, or blunt force trauma injuries as they are also called, were the leading cause of death in people aged one to 44 years, reports the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The most common cause of blunt trauma injuries in 2000 was car accidents, including drug related car accidents. Upon further investigation, the CDC also reports that blunt trauma injuries caused by vehicle accidents resulted in more than 25,000 deaths of individuals between the ages of 15-34.

Acceleration and deceleration forces that physically impact a person’s internal organs and bones cause blunt trauma injuries. Blunt trauma injuries can result in injury to any part of the body and develop into more specific types of injury, including head injury, brain injury, spinal cord injury, bone fracture injury, liver injury, spleen injury, lacerations and abrasions.

Blunt Trauma Injury Diagnosis and Treatment

Medical professionals use an acronym, SAMPLE, to gather information related to a victim and the cause of a blunt trauma injury. Information such as past medical history and known allergies can greatly affect the treatment and recovery of the victim. SAMPLE stands for:

Injuries or complications with the head or respiratory system can cause severe damage to a victim if not treated promptly and these areas are usually the first to be examined by medical professionals following a blunt trauma injury. Most blunt trauma injury victims are given intravenous fluids (IV) and are hooked up to a respirator.
