Life-changing events, such as car and bicycle accidents, serious falls, and drowning, can happen in an instant.<\/p>\n<p>May is National Trauma Awareness Month. As South Jersey\u2019s only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/level-1-trauma-center\">Level I Trauma Center<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a> cares for the most severely injured patients. On average, Cooper treats more than 4,600 trauma patients each year, making it the busiest trauma center in New Jersey. We often see people and their families on the worst day of their lives, so we welcome any opportunity to raise awareness about ways to prevent tragic accidents and protect those we love.<\/p>\n<h3>Distracted Driving \u2013 Arrive Alive<\/h3>\n<p>We live in a world where technology is everywhere, and it\u2019s easy to forget that when we\u2019re behind the wheel. Although we\u2019ve heard the warnings and know the laws, it\u2019s crucial to highlight the dangers of distracted driving. Distracted driving refers to any activity that diverts a driver\u2019s attention from the road, such as texting, eating, or talking on the phone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTexting while driving is the leading cause of motor vehicle accidents and fatalities, and the consequences can be devastating,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/john-porter-md\">John Porter, MD<\/a>, head of the Division of Trauma Surgery and director of the Center for Trauma Services at Cooper University Health Care.<\/p>\n<p>According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 3,522 people were killed as a result of distracted driving in 2021. Additionally, an analysis of New Jersey crash data from 2011 to 2020 showed that more than half of all motor vehicle crashes involved a distracted driver.<\/p>\n<p>NHTSA also reported that 9% of drivers 16 to 24 years old who were involved in fatal crashes in 2020 were distracted at the time of the crash. In addition, 5% of drivers 25 to 34 years old who were involved in fatal crashes were distracted.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that distracted driving is not limited to cell phone use. Other common distractions include eating or drinking, grooming, adjusting the radio or navigation system, and talking to passengers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo combat distracted driving, it\u2019s essential to practice safe driving habits, such as keeping your phone out of reach while driving, pulling over to a safe location if you need to make a call or send a message, and avoiding other distractions while behind the wheel,\u201d Dr. Porter says. \u201cBy staying focused on the road, we can reduce the number of injuries and fatalities caused by distracted driving.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Multitasking Dangers<\/h3>\n<p>Distractions involve more than just cell phones and other electronic devices. In today\u2019s fast-paced world, we&#8217;re often juggling multiple tasks and responsibilities at once. From work deadlines to family obligations, it can feel as if there\u2019s always something vying for our attention. Although multitasking can be a useful skill, it\u2019s important to recognize that there are times when it can be dangerous. Too many distractions pose a threat when someone forgets a child in the car, takes their eyes off a child in the bathtub, or leaves an item near a hot stovetop.<\/p>\n<p>By staying present and aware, we can help reduce the risk of accidents and minimize the impact of trauma.<\/p>\n<h3>Bike Safety<\/h3>\n<p>Bike safety is another area where people of all ages need to be vigilant. Whether you\u2019re a seasoned cyclist or just starting out, it\u2019s important to wear a helmet, follow traffic laws, and be aware of your surroundings. Additionally, many bike accidents occur because drivers are not paying attention to cyclists on the road, so it\u2019s important for bikers to be as visible as possible and for drivers to share the road.<\/p>\n<h3>Water Safety<\/h3>\n<p>As we head into the summer months, remember to enjoy the water responsibly. While swimming and boating, be aware of the risks and take appropriate precautions. This might mean wearing a life jacket, swimming with a buddy, or staying out of the water if conditions are unsafe.<\/p>\n<h3>Prioritize Safety<\/h3>\n<p>The consequences of trauma can be physically, emotionally, and financially devastating. In addition to the immediate impact of an injury or accident, there may also be long-term consequences such as chronic pain, disability, and mental health issues.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s all be more vigilant in preventing trauma by protecting ourselves and those around us.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Cooper\u2019s Level I Trauma Center, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/level-1-trauma-center\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"espanol\"><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>No se convierta en una estad\u00edstica: consejos de seguridad de expertos<\/h2>\n<p>Los accidentes ocurren todos los d\u00edas y pueden afectar a cualquier persona, sin importar su edad, sexo o antecedentes. Los eventos que cambian la vida, como accidentes automovil\u00edsticos y de bicicleta, ca\u00eddas graves y ahogamiento, pueden ocurrir en un instante.<\/p>\n<p>Mayo es el Mes Nacional de Concientizaci\u00f3n sobre el Trauma. Como el \u00fanico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/level-1-trauma-center\">centro de traumatismos de nivel I<\/a> del sur de Jersey, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a> atiende a los pacientes con lesiones m\u00e1s graves. En promedio, Cooper trata a m\u00e1s de 4600 pacientes con trauma cada a\u00f1o, lo que lo convierte en el centro de trauma m\u00e1s activo de Nueva Jersey. A menudo vemos a personas y sus familias en el peor d\u00eda de sus vidas, por lo que agradecemos cualquier oportunidad de crear conciencia sobre las formas de prevenir accidentes tr\u00e1gicos y proteger a nuestros seres queridos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conducir distra\u00eddo: llegar vivo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vivimos en un mundo donde la tecnolog\u00eda est\u00e1 en todas partes y es f\u00e1cil olvidarlo cuando estamos detr\u00e1s del volante. Aunque hemos escuchado las advertencias y conocemos las leyes, es crucial resaltar los peligros de conducir distra\u00eddo. La conducci\u00f3n distra\u00edda se refiere a cualquier actividad que desv\u00eda la atenci\u00f3n del conductor de la carretera, como enviar mensajes de texto, comer o hablar por tel\u00e9fono.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnviar mensajes de texto mientras se conduce es la principal causa de accidentes y muertes de veh\u00edculos motorizados, y las consecuencias pueden ser devastadoras\u201d, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/john-porter-md\">John Porter, MD<\/a>, jefe de la Divisi\u00f3n de Cirug\u00eda de Trauma y director del Centro de Servicios de Trauma en Cooper University Health Care.<\/p>\n<p>Seg\u00fan la Administraci\u00f3n Nacional de Seguridad del Tr\u00e1fico en las Carreteras (NHTSA), 3522 personas murieron como resultado de una conducci\u00f3n distra\u00edda en 2021. Adem\u00e1s, un an\u00e1lisis de los datos de accidentes de Nueva Jersey de 2011 a 2020 mostr\u00f3 que m\u00e1s de la mitad de todos los accidentes automovil\u00edsticos involucraron un conductor distra\u00eddo.<\/p>\n<p>NHTSA tambi\u00e9n inform\u00f3 que el 9 % de los conductores de 16 a 24 a\u00f1os que estuvieron involucrados en accidentes fatales en 2020 estaban distra\u00eddos en el momento del accidente. Adem\u00e1s, el 5% de los conductores de 25 a 34 a\u00f1os que estuvieron involucrados en accidentes fatales estaban distra\u00eddos.<\/p>\n<p>Es importante tener en cuenta que la conducci\u00f3n distra\u00edda no se limita al uso del tel\u00e9fono celular. Otras distracciones comunes incluyen comer o beber, arreglarse, ajustar la radio o el sistema de navegaci\u00f3n y hablar con los pasajeros.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPara combatir la conducci\u00f3n distra\u00edda, es esencial practicar h\u00e1bitos de conducci\u00f3n seguros, como mantener su tel\u00e9fono fuera del alcance mientras conduce, detenerse en un lugar seguro si necesita hacer una llamada o enviar un mensaje y evitar otras distracciones mientras est\u00e1 detr\u00e1s del rueda\u201d, dice el Dr. Porter. \u201cAl mantenernos enfocados en la carretera, podemos reducir la cantidad de lesiones y muertes causadas por la conducci\u00f3n distra\u00edda\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Peligros multitarea<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Las distracciones involucran m\u00e1s que solo tel\u00e9fonos celulares y otros dispositivos electr\u00f3nicos. En el mundo acelerado de hoy, a menudo hacemos malabarismos con m\u00faltiples tareas y responsabilidades a la vez. Desde los plazos de trabajo hasta las obligaciones familiares, puede parecer que siempre hay algo compitiendo por nuestra atenci\u00f3n. Aunque la multitarea puede ser una habilidad \u00fatil, es importante reconocer que hay momentos en los que puede ser peligroso. Demasiadas distracciones representan una amenaza cuando alguien olvida a un ni\u00f1o en el autom\u00f3vil, quita la vista de un ni\u00f1o en la ba\u00f1era o deja un art\u00edculo cerca de una estufa caliente.<\/p>\n<p>Si nos mantenemos presentes y conscientes, podemos ayudar a reducir el riesgo de accidentes y minimizar el impacto del trauma.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seguridad en bicicleta<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La seguridad de las bicicletas es otra \u00e1rea en la que las personas de todas las edades deben estar atentas. Tanto si es un ciclista experimentado como si acaba de empezar, es importante usar un casco, seguir las leyes de tr\u00e1nsito y estar atento a su entorno. Adem\u00e1s, muchos accidentes de bicicleta ocurren porque los conductores no prestan atenci\u00f3n a los ciclistas en la carretera, por lo que es importante que los ciclistas sean lo m\u00e1s visibles posible y que los conductores compartan la carretera.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seguridad del agua<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A medida que nos acercamos a los meses de verano, recuerde disfrutar del agua de manera responsable. Al nadar y navegar, sea consciente de los riesgos y tome las precauciones adecuadas. Esto podr\u00eda significar usar un chaleco salvavidas, nadar con un compa\u00f1ero o permanecer fuera del agua si las condiciones no son seguras.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Priorizar la seguridad<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Las consecuencias del trauma pueden ser devastadoras f\u00edsica, emocional y financieramente. Adem\u00e1s del impacto inmediato de una lesi\u00f3n o accidente, tambi\u00e9n puede haber consecuencias a largo plazo, como dolor cr\u00f3nico, discapacidad y problemas de salud mental.<\/p>\n<p>Estemos todos m\u00e1s atentos a la prevenci\u00f3n del trauma protegi\u00e9ndonos a nosotros mismos y a quienes nos rodean.<\/p>\n<p>Para obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre el Centro de Trauma de Nivel I de Cooper, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/level-1-trauma-center\">haga clic aqu\u00ed<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Para leer en Espa\u00f1ol, por favor haga clic aqu\u00ed Accidents happen every day and can affect anyone, no matter their age, gender, or background.
