Seat Belt Usage and Its Effect on Traumatic Brain Injury
As a result of the fact that traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are not curable in any real traditional sense, the best defense against a TBI is the use of preventative measure. Therefore, as a result of the fact that the number one cause of TBI amongst Americans under seventy five is automobile accidents, one of the best ways to prevent a TBI is to always wear a seat belt. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), of those who were involved in serious auto accidents in the year 2001 for example, 73 percent who of those that survived were wearing their seatbelt and 44 percent who were not survived. Furthermore, a 1997 TBI study shows that a lack of seat belt useage dramatically increases the risk of incurring a TBI, in that 46 percent of TBI patients across fourteen states, who incurred their injury in an auto accident, were not wearing their seatbelt.
Why Wear A Seat Belt?
Only one state in the U.S. does not require adults to wear seat belts: New Hampshire. Many other states make exceptions to their seat belt requirements for children under a certain age, or for those sitting in the back seat of the car. While some Americans believe that using seat belts can actually increase a driver or passenger's risk of traumatic brain injury, because the head is not restrained with the body, there is no evidence to support this theory and some evidence against it. Similarly, some argue that seat belts make users less safe by trapping them in the car in case of an accident, rather than allowing them to be thrown clear. However, in 2001 the NHTSA noted that 75 percent of those individuals who were ejected completely from a vehicle during an auto accident were killed. One percent of those were using a seat belt.
Seat Belt Use and Costs of Traumatic Brain Injury
Not only can declining to use a seat belt increase the severity of an injury, but it also drives up the cost of treating that injury. The government of Maine showed in a six-year study that those who did not use seat belts had higher hospital bills and longer hospital stays that those who used a seat belt. During that period, the study reported, 850 hospitalizations, with a cost of $17 million, could have been avoided altogether if the patient had been wearing a seat belt. Unbelted victims were more than twice as likely to be hospitalized or die from a head injury. And the crash victims who were ejected from their vehicles were 41 times more likely to sustain a serious or fatal brain injury than those who were not.
Proper Use of Seat Belts Can Reduce Risk of TBI
While seat belts can help prevent a traumatic brain injury, their effectiveness decreases when they are not used properly. Seat belts must be tightened to fit the individual using them. More than one person cannot ever use the same seat belt. If the seat belt is old or frayed, it is not safe and should be replaced. And adults should ensure that children who are under 4'9" and about 80 pounds use the special equipment they need to be safe. Infants and children under 40 pounds need a properly sized, properly belted car seat; older children should use a booster seat until they are big enough to use adult-sized lap and shoulder belts. There is also mounting evidence that children shorter than 4'9" should not ride in the front seat at all, due to the risk of injury from passenger-side air bags.
