Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper describes the clinical presentation and management of a 22 year old Nigerian male who sustained facial lacerations and severe bilateral ocular injuries secondary to airbag deployment. When assessing vehicular RTA victims at the accident and emergency or any clinical setting, the attending Physician should be alerted to the possibility of injuries arising as a result of airbag deployment. Overall, the advantages of airbag use outweighs the disadvantages. Maximal protection is obtained when used in conjunction with seat belts
