| Description: | Energy transferred from the injury. Classification of the energy and mechanism of injury is described in "Injury Classification" link below. | ||
| Evidence: | Injury_Classification(Supporting Evidence)
The mechanism and energy of injuries are classified as shown below:
1) Penetrating – High velocity
a)High velocity gun (rifle)
b)Close range shotgun wound
2) Penetrating – Low velocity
a)Stabbing
b)Handgun
3) Blunt trauma – High velocity
a)Fall from height > 20 ft / 3 floors / 6 meters
b)Ejected from vehicle
c)Trapped under vehicle (train / bus / car)
d)RTC: mechanical entrapment / death of occupant / major intrusion into passenger compartment
e)Pedestrian vs. vehicle > 30mph
f)Crush
4) Blunt trauma - Low velocity
a) Low energy blunt trauma injuries, excluding the conditions above.
5) Blast: There were no blast injuries in the development cohort of the ATC BN. Blast injuries are classified as high energy blunt injuries when using the model.
