This article deals with some of the unique problems encountered when people, injured in road traffic or industrial accidents, are trapped as a result of the accident. Mining accidents are specifically excluded because I have no personal experience of them and also because they occur in circumscribed conditions which the average practitioner does not encounter. Dealing with trapped and seriously injured patients is a very harrowing experience for all concerned, and it is as well to examine factors which contribute to this as it is the doctor who can introduce a measure of calm into these situations.
本文探讨了在道路交通事故或工业事故中受伤的人员因事故而被困时所遇到的一些特殊问题。采矿事故被明确排除在外，原因是我本人没有相关经验，而且采矿事故发生的环境比较局限，普通从业者一般不会遇到。处理被困且伤势严重的患者对所有相关人员来说都是一段极其痛苦的经历，因此有必要审视导致这种情况的因素，因为医生能够在这些情形中带来一定程度的冷静。
