This paper details the results of an eleven-year survey of patients admitted to the burns unit at the Royal Brisbane Hospital with injuries secondary to motor vehicle accidents. There were 64 subjects in this group. Forty-five were involved in car accidents and 19 in cycle accidents. Fifty of the patients were male, with a mean age of 26.9 years. The mean age of the 14 females was 24.9 years. Petrol fires emerged as the major source of injury in those individuals involved in car accidents, while hot metal injured most of the cyclists. Cyclists did not seem to be more prone to friction burns than motorists. Burns to the limbs predominated, but respiratory burns occurred in seven of the eight patients who did not survive. The median duration of hospitalization was 21 days, and the death rate in this series was 12.5%.
本文详细介绍了对皇家布里斯班医院烧伤科收治的因机动车事故而受伤患者进行的为期十一年的调查结果。该组有64名受试者。其中45人遭遇车祸，19人遭遇自行车事故。50名患者为男性，平均年龄26.9岁。14名女性的平均年龄为24.9岁。在遭遇车祸的人群中，汽油着火是主要致伤源，而大多数骑自行车者则是被热金属烫伤。骑自行车者似乎并不比驾车者更容易发生摩擦烧伤。四肢烧伤最为常见，但在8名死亡患者中有7人发生了呼吸道烧伤。住院时间中位数为21天，该系列的死亡率为12.5%。
