| Description of the problem | 3 year old child was appropriately buckled into car seat in the back seat. She managed to reach the seat belt and put it around her neck. Her older brother noticed this and started yelling at mother who was driving. Mother pulled over and tried to remove the seat belt but it had locked. Mother flagged down passerbys. Fortunately, this occurred on a us military base overseas where first aid kits are required in all vehicles including trauma shears. The trauma shears were used to cut the seat belt away from her neck. The child did sustain bruising and injuries to both the front and back of her neck, but no long term problems. This is a physician who is filing the report as i evaluated the child for her injuries. |
