| pubmed-article:3815638 | pubmed:abstractText | The effectiveness of seat belts is largely proved. Nevertheless, this safety device produces typical lesions, for very violent accidents, or if it is malpositioned. The pathogenetic criterium of these lesions ("seat belt syndrome") is described, while a complete revision of literature is presented. The importance of emergency care in the identification and treatment of these lesions is emphasized. | lld:pubmed |
