Introduction : Les traumatismes dento-maxillo- faciaux (TDMF) représentent l'ensemble des lésions intéressants la face et les maxillaires. De par leur gravité, ils constituent une urgence en odontostomatologie. L'objectif de cette étude était de déterminer les facteurs étiologiques et d'identifier leurs différentes formes anatomocliniques dans notre contexte d'exercice. Méthodes : Il s'est agi d'une étude multicentrique transversale descriptive, à collecte rétrospective allant du 1er janvier au 31 décembre 2018. Elle a été réalisé dans des trois services de chirurgie buccale et maxillo- faciale des Centres Hospitaliers Universitaires de la ville de Ouagadougou. Résultats : Au total 1221 cas ont été colligés dans ces 3 CHU. La tranche d'âge de ]15-30] ans a été la plus représentée. Les accidents de la circulation routière ont constitué les principales causes 1012 cas (82,9%). Au plan anatomoclinique les lésions des parties molles constituaient 1221 cas (100%) et les lésions osseuses 721 cas (59 %). Conclusion : Les lésions occasionnées par les TDMF peuvent constituer de véritables urgences vitale et fonctionnelle. La sensibilisation des populations sur la sécurité routière, le renforcement du plateau technique de ces services et la collaboration interdisciplinaire permettraient de renforcer l'efficacité de la prise en charge des TDMF.

Las lesiones causadas por el tránsito (LCT) se encuentran dentro de las principales causas de mortalidad y discapacidad a nivel mundial, hecho reflejado en el puesto que ocupan dentro de las primeras diez causas de vida ajustados por discapacidad, con importantes costos e impacto económico y social para las sociedades que las padecen. En 2004, la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) lanzó el primer informe sobre prevención de LCT. Sin embargo, en años posteriores esa situación no mejoró, por lo cual las Naciones Unidas lanzó la Década de Acción para la Seguridad Vial (2011-2020), donde se invitaba a los gobiernos a diseñar e implementar acciones para reducir la carga asociada a este problema; entre estas se encuentra diseño y mejoramiento de vías, atención oportuna pos siniestro, control de la velocidad, medidas de control administrativo, diseño y mejoramiento de estándares vehiculares, entre otras. Las medidas basadas en enfoque poblacional han demostrado ser más poderosas que las medidas que inducen cambios de comportamiento individual.
Injuries caused by traffic (ICT) are among the main causes of mortality and disability worldwide, reflected in the fact that they occupy the first ten causes of disability adjusted life years with economic and social cost impacts for the societies that suffer from them. In 2004, the World Health Organization (WHO) released the first Prevention Report about ICT. Nevertheless, in subsequent years this situation has not improved, motivating the United Nations to launch the Decade of Action for Road Safety (2011-2020), where governments were invited to design and implement actions to reduce the burden associated with this problem: designing and improving of roads, increasing timely post-crash care, speed control, administrative control measures, designing and improving vehicle safety standards, among others. Population-based measures have been shown to be more powerful than measures that induce individual behavior changes.

Los accidentes de tránsito son un problema de salud pública de gran magnitud y gravedad, en las Américas; Venezuela ocupa un lugar destacado por su alta incidencia. El objetivo de la investigación es establecer la relación entre las políticas públicas para la prevención de los accidentes de motocicletas, y las tasas de mortalidad. Metodología: Estudio documental retrospectivo de las políticas viales y las tasas de mortalidad específicas de lesionados por accidentes de motocicletas en Venezuela durante el período 1996-2018. Resultados: como causa de muerte en Venezuela (2000-2018), representa casi 7% del total, entre 6 a 50% del total de las muertes por accidentes de tránsito terrestre y se mantiene muy alta al final del período, con fallecidos por motocicletas sobre 25%. La elevación de la curva endémica de mortalidad ocurrió simultáneamente al aumento en la producción e importación de motocicletas, y cayó durante la crisis económica, en el año 2014. La legislación actualizada mas no acatada en esta materia, es notoria Conclusiones: Los accidentes de motocicleta son un problema de salud pública de primer orden en Venezuela asociadas al clima económico y social, las tasas de mortalidad tuvieron su máxima meseta de elevación durante la bonanza petrolera 2005-2013. Las políticas asociadas a la prevención de accidentes viales en moto están fragmentadas, son ineficientes y reactivas a situaciones complejas, deficientemente aplicadas por los organismos de tránsito responsables a escala nacional, regional y municipal.
Introduction. Traffic accidents are a public health problem of great magnitude and gravity in the Americas; Venezuela occupies a prominent place for its high incidence. The objective of the research is to establish the relationship between public policies for the prevention of motorcycle accidents, and mortality rates. Methodology: Retrospective documentary study of road policies and specific mortality rates of those injured by motorcycle accidents in Venezuela during the period 1996-2018. Descriptive statistical analysis with trend lines, frequency distributions and annual average rates. Results: cause of death in Venezuela (2000-2018), represents almost 7% of the total. The burden of motorcycle injury deaths represents between 6 to 50% of total road traffic fatalities and remains very high at the end of the period, with motorcycle fatalities over 25%. The elevation of the endemic mortality curve occurred simultaneously with the increase in the production and import of motorcycles, and fell concomitantly with the economic crisis in 2014. Conclusions: Motorcycle accidents are a public health problem of the first order in Venezuela associated with the economic and social climate, mortality rates had their maximum plateau of elevation during the oil economic boom 2005-2013. The policies associated with the prevention of road accidents by motorcycle are fragmented, inefficient and reactive to complex situations and poorly applied by the responsible traffic agencies at national, regional and municipal level.

Introducción: Las fracturas complejas de fémur distal AO/AOT tipo 33C3.3 constituyen un reto para los ortopedistas debido a la dificultad de su tratamiento y las complicaciones asociadas. El planeamiento y procedimiento quirúrgicos emplean placas condilares, pero estas se asocian a la pérdida de la fijación y al colapso de la reducción. Objetivo: Describir la planificación preoperatoria de una fractura de fémur distal AO/AOT 33C3.3 con bioimpresión 3D y reconstrucción por computadora. Presentación del caso: Paciente masculino de 34 años con fractura izquierda conminuta del fémur distal, AO/AOT tipo 33C3.3, por un accidente de tránsito. El planeamiento y el tratamiento quirúrgicos se realizaron exitosamente con la impresión y reconstrucción de biomodelos 3D. Basados en las imágenes tomográficas del paciente, se identificaron los principales fragmentos, la secuencia de reducción, la cantidad y la posición de los implantes a utilizar. Conclusiones: La planificación preoperatoria resulta una etapa de vital importancia en el manejo de fracturas complejas. Las técnicas convencionales pueden optimizarse con la cirugía asistida por computadora y reconstrucción con biomodelos 3D impresos. Esta novedosa propuesta permitirá el adecuado uso de materiales, una óptima secuencia de reducción, mejor estabilidad de la fractura y menor riesgo de complicaciones quirúrgicas(AU)
Introduction: Complex distal femur fractures AO/AOT type 33C3.3 constitute a challenge for orthopedists due to the difficulty of their treatment and associated complications. The surgical planning and procedure use condylar plates; but these are associated with loss of fixation and collapse of the reduction. Objective: To describe preoperative planning for an AO/AOT 33C3.3 distal femur fracture with 3D bioprinting and computer reconstruction. Case report: The case of a 34-year-old male patient is reported. He has comminuted left fracture of the distal femur, AO/AOT type 33C3.3, due to a traffic accident. Surgical planning and treatment were successfully performed with 3D biomodel printing and reconstruction. Based on the patient's tomographic images, the main fragments, the reduction sequence, the number and position of the implants to be used were identified. Conclusions: Preoperative planning is a critically important stage in managing complex fractures. Conventional techniques can be optimized with computer-assisted surgery and reconstruction with 3D printed biomodels. This novel proposal will allow the appropriate use of materials, optimal reduction sequence, better stability of the fracture and lower risk of surgical complications(AU)

Introduction: In Brazil, traumatic brain injury (TBI) represents about two thirds of all causes of death and are often associated with traffic accidents, causing overload of medium and high complexity services. Objectives:To describe the occurrence and clinical-epidemiological profile of TBIs associated with traffic accidents in a regional hospital in the southeast of the state of Pará. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional analytical study. It was based on data from the medical and statistical archives service of a regional hospital, through the analysis of electronic medical records of patients treated with TBI resulting from traffic accidents in the period from 2016 to 2020. Results: Of the 20,077 overall hospitalizations recorded, 4.0% were associated with the occurrence of TBI, of which, 75.3% were directly caused by traffic accidents involving motorcycles. The cases were concentrated in individuals of mixed race, male, aged between 18 and 29 years, with percentages of 92.5%, 86% and 39%, respectively. Conclusions: The occurrence of TBIs associated with automobile accidents is a problem that requires attention in the region. Moreover, there were several gaps in the completion of the medical records, which made it difficult to determine the association of the outcome, alcohol consumption and the use of PPE. However, considering all the information presented, assertive local public policies aimed at prevention can be implemented. And this can be the starting point for promoting changes aimed at mitigating traffic accidents and bed occupations due to preventable causes, impacting the quality of health care and economic factors (AU).
Introdução: No Brasil, os traumatismos cranioencefálicos (TCEs) representam cerca dois terços de todas as causas de óbitos e são frequentemente associados a acidentes de trânsito, causando sobrecarga dos serviços de média e alta complexidade. Objetivos: Descrever a ocorrência e o perfil clínico-epidemiológico de TCEs associados a acidentes de trânsito em um hospital regional no Sudeste do Estado do Pará. Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo analítico de corte transversal. Baseou-se em dados provenientes do serviço de arquivos médicos e estatísticos de um hospital regional, através da análise de prontuários eletrônicos de pacientes diagnosticados com TCE decorrentes de acidentes de trânsito no período de 2016 a 2020. Resultados: Das 20.077 internações gerais re-gistradas, 4,0% foram associadas à ocorrência de TCE, das quais 75,3% foram diretamente causados por acidentes de trânsito envolvendo motocicletas. Os casos se concentraram em indivíduos pardos, do sexo masculino, com faixa etária entre 18 e 29 anos, com percentuais de 92,5%, 86% e 39%, respectivamente. Conclusões: A ocorrência de TCEs associados a acidentes automobilísticos é um problema que requer atenção na região. Além disso, verificou-se várias lacunas no preenchimento dos prontuários, o que dificultou a determinação da associação do desfecho, o consumo de álcool e a utilização dos EPIs. No entanto, considerando todas as informações apresentadas, políticas públicas assertivas locais que visem a prevenção podem ser implementadas. E esse pode ser o ponto de partida para promover mudanças que visem mitigação dos acidentes de trânsito e ocupações de leitos por causas evitáveis, impactando na qualidade da assistência em saúde e fatores econômicos (AU).

A incidência de trauma durante a gestação é de 6% a 8% (formas graves de trauma: 3%-6%). Das gestantes que necessitam de internação por causa de um trauma, 60% evoluem para o parto. As gestantes têm 1,6 vez mais chances de morrer numa situação de trauma. As alterações anatômicas e fisiológicas da gestação interferem nas repercussões e na abordagem do trauma. A violência doméstica representa o mecanismo mais comum de trauma para a gestante e desencadeia várias complicações obstétricas, devendo ser, idealmente, identificada no pré-natal. No acidente automobilístico, atenção especial deve ser dada ao diagnóstico de descolamento prematuro de placenta (DPP). O ultrassom na sala de trauma possibilita ação na assistência ao trauma e também, como mecanismo rápido, informações necessárias sobre o feto e a gestação (FAST fetal). A maioria dos exames de imagem necessários para a boa assistência ao trauma não representa agravos à gestação. O pré-natal tem papel importante na prevenção dos traumas na gestação. A ação conjunta do cirurgião do trauma e do obstetra é recomendada no atendimento da gestante traumatizada, principalmente nos casos graves e em gestantes acima de 20-24 semanas

INTRODUCCIÓN. La disección de aorta es una patología poco frecuente, cuando se presenta, lo hace de una manera catastrófica manifestada por dolor torácico o lumbar intenso acompañado de compromiso hemodinámico agudo, un diagnóstico y tratamiento temprano suelen ser cruciales para evitar la muerte del paciente, así mismo, una disección de aorta puede ser secundario a un trauma torácico por desaceleración y se presenta en 1,5% a 2%, lo que induce sobre todo a un desgarro localizado en la región del istmo aórtico. CASO CLÍNICO. Paciente masculino de 35 años, con antecedente de accidente en vehículo motorizado que provocó un traumatismo cráneo encefálico moderado, hematoma epidural parietal derecho, con resolución quirúrgica hace 18 meses, se descartó lesiones a nivel de tórax con radiografía de tórax normal, además se realizó ecografía FAST en ventana perihepática, suprapúbica, periesplénica y subxi-foidea sin encontrar alteración. Acudió al servicio de emergencia por un cuadro de hemiparesia derecha más disartria de 4 horas de evolución, se realiza tomografía de cráneo sin encontrarse lesión, catalogándose como evento cerebrovascular isquémico con recuperación neurológica. Durante su estancia hospitalaria presenta un cuadro de disnea de grandes esfuerzos y tras realizar exámenes complementarios de control se llega a una conclusión de una cardiomegalia, por lo que es referido a consulta de cardiología donde se realiza ecocardiograma, en la cual se observa disección de aorta ascendente más aneurisma por lo que se decide su ingreso y se instaura tratamiento mediante medidas de soporte, con derivación a hospital de especialidades para cirugía cardiotorácica. CONCLUSIONES. La disección de aorta secundario a un traumatis-mo es poco frecuente, sin embargo, el diagnostico siempre debe estar presente en caso de trauma por desaceleración, ya que es vital para la supervivencia del paciente y su manejo oportuno.
INTRODUCTION. Aortic dissection is an infrequent pathology; when it occurs, it does so in a catastrophic manner manifested by intense thoracic or lumbar pain accompanied by acute he-modynamic compromise. Early diagnosis and treatment are usually crucial to avoid the patient's death; likewise, aortic dissection can be secondary to thoracic trauma due to deceleration and occurs in 1.5% to 2%, which mainly induces a localized tear in the region of the aortic isthmus. CLINICAL CASE. 35-year-old male patient, with a history of motor vehicle accident that caused a moderate head injury, right parietal epidural hematoma, with surgical resolution 18 months ago, chest injuries were ruled out with normal chest X-ray, and FAST ultrasound was performed in perihepatic, suprapubic, perisplenic and subxiphoid window without finding any alteration. She went to the emergency department for a picture of right hemiparesis and dysarthria of 4 hours of evolution, a cranial tomography was performed without finding any lesion, being clas-sified as an ischemic cerebrovascular event with neurological recovery. During his hospital stay he presented with dyspnea of great effort and after performing complementary control tests, a cardiomegaly was found, so he is referred to a cardiology clinic where an echocardiogram is per-formed, which showed dissection of the ascending aorta plus aneurysm, admission is decided and treatment is instituted through supportive measures, with referral to a specialty hospital for cardiothoracic surgery. CONCLUSIONS. Aortic dissection secondary to trauma is rare, however, the diagnosis should always be present in case of trauma due to deceleration, as it is vital for the survival of the patient and its timely treatment.

Introducción: Los traumatismos constituyen causa frecuente de consulta. Entre sus localizaciones más comunes se encuentran las extremidades inferiores. El Heberprot-P® resulta un factor de crecimiento epidérmico que se ha utilizado durante más de una década para la cicatrización de las úlceras del pie diabético con excelentes resultados. Ampliar su utilización a otras patologías, incluso de etiología traumática, permitiría expandir las posibilidades terapéuticas para la cicatrización de las heridas. Objetivo: Exponer el resultado de la aplicación del Heberprot-P® en una amputación transtarsiana en un paciente portador de un trauma vascular distal. Presentación del caso: Paciente masculino de 23 años con antecedentes de salud. Luego de traumatismo por accidente de tránsito presentó fractura de huesos del metatarso y la sección total de la arteria pedia del pie izquierdo, lo cual provocó una gangrena húmeda de la extremidad. Por este motivo se realizó una amputación transtarsiana del pie. Se usó el Heberprot-P® como terapia para acortar el tiempo de cicatrización. Conclusiones: El Heberprot-P® resultó útil para la evolución de la herida como consecuencia de un trauma vascular, al evitar una amputación mayor, acelerar el proceso de cicatrización y conservar una extremidad funcional, lo que demostró que puede constituir una terapia eficaz para las heridas de difícil cicatrización, independientemente de su etiología(AU)
Introduction: Trauma is a frequent cause of consultation. Among its most common locations are the lower extremities. Heberprot-P® is an epidermal growth factor that has been used for more than a decade for the healing of diabetic foot ulcers with excellent results. Extending its use to other pathologies, including traumatic etiology ones, would expand the therapeutic possibilities for wound healing. Objective: To present the result of the application of Heberprot-P® in a Chopart´s amputation in a patient with distal vascular trauma. Case presentation: A 23-year-old male patient with a health history. After trauma from a traffic accident, he presented a fracture of the bones of the metatarsus and the whole section of the left foot´s pedis artery, which caused a wet gangrene of the extremity. For this reason, a Chopart´s amputation of the foot was performed. Heberprot-P® was used as therapy to shorten healing time. Conclusions: Heberprot-P® was useful for wound evolution as a result of vascular trauma, avoiding major amputation, accelerating the healing process and preserving a functional limb, which showed that it can be an effective therapy for wounds that are difficult to heal, regardless of their etiology(AU)

Traumas torácicos são comuns em pacientes traumatizados e incluem principalmente contusão pulmonar, laceração pulmonar, pneumotórax, hemotórax, fraturas de costela e esterno e hérnia diafragmática. As principais causas são acidentes automobilísticos, quedas e mordeduras. Taquipneia ou dispneia são possíveis sinais clínicos, associados a choque hipovolêmico e sinais gastrointestinais. Lesões torácicas podem ser negligenciadas quando lesões distrativas, como fratura de membros, estão presentes. Assim, o exame clínico minucioso é obrigatório e os animais com insuficiência respiratória podem necessitar de estabilização e cirurgia de emergência. Considerando a importância do trauma torácico na prática clínica, o objetivo deste manuscrito é relatar o caso de hérnia espúria torácica associada a laceração traumática de lobo pulmonar caudal em uma cadela apresentando dispneia intensa após trauma automobilístico. Após uma avaliação emergencial e exames radiográficos, foi diagnosticado tórax instável, fraturas de costelas, contusão pulmonar e pneumotórax grave. Após estabilização clínica, foi realizado tratamento cirúrgico para estabilização do tórax instável. Durante a cirurgia, observou-se herniação e laceração do lobo caudal esquerdo do pulmão, sendo realizadas suturas para correção da laceração pulmonar e estabilização do gradil costal, além da toracostomia para controle do pneumotórax. Nos casos de tórax instável e encarceramento lobar, o tratamento cirúrgico é fundamental, como realizado neste caso, com o objetivo de reparar e reposicionar o lobo pulmonar e estabilizar o tórax instável. A herniação pulmonar traumática é um possível diagnóstico diferencial no tórax instável pós-traumático, assim como a reparação do lobo e a estabilização das costelas por meio de suturas são técnicas eficazes de tratamento cirúrgico.
Thoracic traumas are common in trauma patients and mainly include pulmonary contusion, pulmonary laceration, pneumothorax, hemothorax, rib and sternum fractures and diaphragmatic hernia. The main causes are car accidents, falls and bites. Tachypnea or dyspnea are possible clinical signs, associated with hypovolemic shock and gastrointestinal signs. Thoracic injuries may be overlooked when distracting injuries, such as limb fractures, are present. Thus, thorough clinical examination is mandatory and animals with respiratory failure may require stabilization and emergency surgery. Considering the importance of thoracic trauma in clinical practice, the manuscript aimed to report the case of spurious thoracic hernia associated with traumatic laceration of the caudal lung lobe in a bitch with severe dyspnea after car trauma. After an emergency evaluation and radiographic examinations, a flail chest, rib fractures, pulmonary contusion and severe pneumothorax were diagnosed. After clinical stabilization, surgical treatment was performed to stabilize the flail chest. During surgery, herniation and laceration of the left caudal lobe of the lung were observed, and sutures were performed to correct the pulmonary laceration and stabilize the rib cage, in addition to thoracostomy to control the pneumothorax. In cases of flail chest and lobar entrapment, surgical treatment is essential, as in this case, with the aim of repairing and repositioning the pulmonary lobe and stabilizing the flail chest. Traumatic pulmonary herniation is a possible differential diagnosis in post-traumatic flail chest, as well as repairing the lobe and stabilizing the ribs using sutures are effective surgical treatment techniques.

However, the number of young people who become involved in unexpected situations, such as traffic accidents and attempted murders, is worrying, leading them to face their finitude. OBJECTIVE: To understand and analyze the experience of young survivors of traffic accidents and attempted homicides. METHOD: Open interviews were carried out with eight young people, aged between 19 and 29 years old, who live in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and who survived traffic accidents or attempted homicides. The interviews were guided by a semi-structured script and were analyzed from the perspective of Content Analysis. RESULTS: The speech of the young people interviewed points to the existential implications of the changes imposed by the intercurrences, especially from the impacts they caused, changing both their routines and the way they thought and lived. In addition, this experience also had implications for the perception of body image, in addition to changes in other areas of the interviewees' lives, such as work, studies, as well as family and friendship relationships that were also affected. CONCLUSION: A better understanding of these experiences is needed, in order to contribute to the development of health strategies that help these young people to deal with the consequences of events that are often serious and permanent.

PURPOSE@#Spine injury is one of the leading causes of death and mortality worldwide. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence, pattern and outcome of trauma patients with spine injury referred to the largest trauma center in southern Iran during the last 3 years.@*METHODS@#This is a cross-sectional study conducted between March 2018 and June 2021 in the largest trauma center in the southern Iran. The data collection form included the age, sex, injury location (cervical, thoracic, and lumbar), cause of injury (traffic accidents, falls, and assaults), length of hospital stay, injured segment of spine injury, severity of injury, and outcome. Statistical analyzes were performed using SPSS software version 24.@*RESULTS@#Totally 776 cases of spine injury were identified. The spine injury rate was 17.0%, and the mortality rate was 15.5%. Cervical spine injury (20.4%) more often occulted in motorcycle accident, and thoracic spine injury (20.1%) occulted in falls. The highest and lowest rates of spine injurys were related to lumbar spine injury (30.2%) and cervical spine injury (21.5%), respectively. There was a statistically significant relationship between the mechanism of injury and the location of spine injury (p < 0.001). And patients with lumbar spine injury had the highest mortality rate (16.7%). Injury severity score (OR= 1.041, p < 0.001) and length of stay (OR = 1.018, p < 0.001) were strong predictors of mortality in trauma patients with spine injury.@*CONCLUSION@#The results of the study showed that the incidence of traumatic spine injury rate was approximately 17.0% in southern of Iran. Road traffic injury and falls are the common mechanism of injury to spine. It is important to improve the safety of roads, and passengers, as well as work environment, and improve the quality of cars. Also, paying attention to the pattern of spine injury may assist to prevent the missing diagnosis of spine injury in multiple trauma patients.

PURPOSE@#To systematically review the risk of permanent disability related to road traffic injuries (RTIs) and to determine the implications for future research regarding permanent impairment following road traffic crashes.@*METHODS@#We conducted this systematic review according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis statement. An extended search of the literature was carried out in 4 major electronic databases for scientific research papers published from January 1980 to February 2020. Two teams include 2 reviewers each, screened independently the titles/abstracts, and after that, reviewed the full text of the included studies. The quality of the studies was assessed using the strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology (STROBE) checklist. A third reviewer was assessed any discrepancy and all data of included studies were extracted. Finally, the data were systematically analyzed, and the related data were interpreted.@*RESULTS@#Five out of 16 studies were evaluated as high-quality according to the STROBE checklist. Fifteen studies ranked the initial injuries according to the abbreviated injury scale 2005. Five studies reported the total risk of permanent medical impairment following RTIs which varied from 2% to 23% for car occupants and 2.8% to 46% for cyclists. Seven studies reported the risk of permanent medical impairment of the different body regions. Eleven studies stated the most common body region to develop permanent impairment, of which 6 studies demonstrated that injuries of the cervical spine and neck were at the highest risk of becoming permanent injured.@*CONCLUSION@#The finding of this review revealed the necessity of providing a globally validated method to evaluate permanent medical impairment following RTIs across the world. This would facilitate decision-making about traffic injuries and efficient management to reduce the financial and psychological burdens for individuals and communities.

Background Close to 500 people die annually from Road Traffic Collisions in Botswana. The country's Emergency Medical Service is limited in capacity and coverage and greatest in the region of the capital city, Gaborone. Botswana Police Service officers are often first responders to the incidents and provide first aid, however the extent of their interventions and their experiences has not been studied. Methods A questionnaire based cross-sectional survey was conducted in January 2016 on a sample of 99 officers on past pre-hospital care training, attitudes towards providing pre-hospital care for accident victims, the number of road traffic collision related deaths and injuries encountered in the last 6 months, their interventions to the victims and limitations encountered in providing care. Results The officers self-reported attending to a median of 10 injured victims (IQR = 5 20) and a median of 2 deaths (IQR = 0 4) in the preceding 6 months. The officers generally acknowledged their role and responsibility to provide pre-hospital care to the victims. Officers frequently secured accident scenes and transported injured victims to health facilities. They rarely performed haemorrhage control on victims, performed any airway manoeuvres or splint injured limbs. The major limitations to providing care were lack of first aid supplies and personal protective equipment, lack of knowledge and skills to provide care and interference from onlookers at accident scenes. Conclusion Botswana Police officers in the greater Gaborone area attend to a considerable number of traffic related injuries and fatalities. These results support many opportunities for educational interventions to add value to pre-hospital care.
