Scope of Injury: US

Types of Injuries
![Page 7: Global Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion Catherine A. Lynch, MD Assistant Professor of EM and Global Health Co-Director, Section EM Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649ec85503460f94bd4543/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
All Injury Deaths
![Page 8: Global Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion Catherine A. Lynch, MD Assistant Professor of EM and Global Health Co-Director, Section EM Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649ec85503460f94bd4543/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Burden (GBDI, 2010)• Preliminary findings (Lancet Nov 2012)
– Injuries cause 5.1 million deaths and 12.1% DALY– All cause deaths 20% (CD 25% NCD 20%, Injuries 8%)
• Transport (28%), Falls(10%) Drowning (7%) Fires(6.6%), Self Harm (17.4%)
– RTI #8, Self Harm #13, Falls #22 cause of death– 35-45% of codes in come countries are “garbage codes”
(Argentina) so these numbers can be much higher
Injuries have a large and increasing health loss risk which is decreasing much less than other NCDs and CD

Road Traffic Crashes• Road Traffic crashes in
low and middle income countries cost approximately $65 billion per year
• This is more than total dollar amount these countries receive in development assistance

Why?
• Urbanization• Motorization• Limited Care • Limited Prevention
– Road/vehicle conditions– Signage– Pedestrians/VRU– Legislation/Regulation

SUMMARY, WHY INJURY:• >5 Million people die annually
• 16,000 people die daily from injuries
• Persons 15-44, injuries account for 6 of the 15 leading causes of death.
• For each 1 that dies, thousands have permanent sequelae Krug EG, Sharma GK, Lozano R. The global burden of injuries. Am J Public Health 2000; 90 523-26

RF for injury
• Age• Sex• Race/ Ethnicities• Socioeconomic Groups• Alcohol/Drug• Vulnerable road users:
– Pedestrian, 2 wheel motorized and non-motorized

Development Issues• Disproportionate impact
on the poorest– More exposed to risk– Less access to prevention and care
• Disproportionate impact on young people
• High economic costs– Care– Rehabilitation– Productivity

Guiding
PrinciplesDeveloping Emergency Care Systems
![Page 31: Global Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion Catherine A. Lynch, MD Assistant Professor of EM and Global Health Co-Director, Section EM Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649ec85503460f94bd4543/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
SimplicityEmergency medical care systems need not be complicated and expensive. Much may be accomplished by providing simple but cost-effective treatment in a timely manner
![Page 32: Global Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion Catherine A. Lynch, MD Assistant Professor of EM and Global Health Co-Director, Section EM Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649ec85503460f94bd4543/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Sustainability
Emergency medical care systems should rely on locally available supplies, equipment, training, and resources
![Page 33: Global Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion Catherine A. Lynch, MD Assistant Professor of EM and Global Health Co-Director, Section EM Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649ec85503460f94bd4543/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Practicality
Implementation should not require overhaul of the country’s healthcare infrastructure
![Page 34: Global Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion Catherine A. Lynch, MD Assistant Professor of EM and Global Health Co-Director, Section EM Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649ec85503460f94bd4543/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
EfficiencyDesign, implementation, and operation should enable emergency medical care systems to optimally utilize the resources available to them, no matter how scarce they may be
![Page 35: Global Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion Catherine A. Lynch, MD Assistant Professor of EM and Global Health Co-Director, Section EM Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649ec85503460f94bd4543/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Flexibility
Emergency medical care systems should be adaptable to suit local conditions, values, norms, and economic resources
![Page 36: Global Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion Catherine A. Lynch, MD Assistant Professor of EM and Global Health Co-Director, Section EM Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649ec85503460f94bd4543/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Prehospital Medical Care
Estimate of world’s population covered by:
• EMS at ALS level: 5 – 15%
• EMS at BLS level: 20 – 35%
• No formal EMS: 50 – 75%

Improving prehospital care
• Strengthen existing prehospital care systems– Organization/administration/quality
– Logistics and operations
– Deployment• Target high risk areas
–Training and Education
