201 Measurement of Vital Signs on Thoraco-abdominal Press on Animal Experiment Simulated Crowd Accident

Abstract

Press contusion in chest and abdomen is the most serious trauma for crowd accident. However, injury tolerance for this trauma has not been determined in the eyes of biomechanics research. In order to understand criteria for press injury, we conducted animal experiment in thoraco-abdominal stress. Change in animal state on static press obtains from blood gas analysis and vital signs. As a result, physiological situations on experimental animal are compounded by increase of load.
