What is Emergency Medicine - What is seat belt syndrome, exactly?
The classic trio of abdominal wall ecchymosis, hyperflexion-distraction damage to the lumbar spine (Chance fracture), and IAI is known as seat belt syndrome, sometimes known as lap belt syndrome. When a child is wearing a seat belt incorrectly (high over the abdomen instead of low over the pelvis, or with the shoulder belt behind the child's back), it is typically related to car accidents. Even only a seat belt sign has a strong correlation with IAI. To lower the morbidity and death rates among children involved in auto accidents, proper installation and usage of car seats, including booster seats, is crucial.
