In the United States, trauma is the leading cause of death for ages 1 through 46, with motor vehicle crashes being a significant contributor to trauma-related deaths and injury.<\/p>\n<p>The trauma team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>, a leading academic health system, treats more than 3,500 trauma patients a year, many of them injured in motor vehicle accidents. Cooper University Hospital is the only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/level-1-trauma-center\">Level 1 Trauma Center<\/a> in South Jersey and the busiest trauma center in the region.<\/p>\n<p>The National Highway Traffic Safety Council recently released sobering statistics that show a 5% increase in fatal crashes in New Jersey in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the pandemic, which resulted in more people staying home and fewer on the road, we actually saw more fatal crashes and collisions this past year,\u201d said <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 Dr. Porter, the reason for this increase in fatal crashes is risky behavior by drivers, including speeding, failure to wear seat belts, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and cell-phone use while driving. As more pandemic restrictions are lifted, it is predicted that even more people will be on the roads this summer. Whether you are traveling far or staying local, it only takes a few careless moments for tragedy to strike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter a challenging year, we want everyone to enjoy the summer months, but to do it safely,\u201d said Dr. Porter. \u201cA modicum of precaution will prevent you, or a loved one, from becoming a statistic in our trauma center.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>First, adopt a zero-tolerance policy of driving or allowing others to drive intoxicated. Alcohol impairment is involved in about a third of all vehicle fatalities. Designate a sober driver to ensure guests make it home safely after parties or get-togethers.\u00a0Alcohol, over-the-counter and prescription medicines, and illegal drugs can all cause impairment.<\/p>\n<p>Also, make sure the driver puts their cell phone away. While many distractions can occur while driving \u2013 people turning or stopping suddenly, animals running into the roadways, etc. \u2013 cell phones are one of the main culprits of car crashes related to distracted driving. To avoid being tempted to glance at your phone, give it to another passenger to hold or put it out of reach or in the back seat. If you must make a call, pull over to a safe spot and park before using your phone.<\/p>\n<p>When planning your trip, be sure to get a good night\u2019s sleep before departing and avoid\u00a0drowsy driving, advises Dr. Porter. Leave early, plan ahead for heavy traffic, and stop occasionally to help avoid driving fatigue. Before departing, make sure\u00a0every person in the vehicle is properly buckled up\u00a0no matter how long or short the distance traveled. Never allow children to travel in a car unrestrained or on the lap of an adult or older child.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Trauma Center<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/level-1-trauma-center\">The Trauma Center at Cooper University Hospital<\/a> was established in 1982 and is one of only three New Jersey State-Designated Level I Trauma Centers verified by the American College of Surgeons, the highest national recognition possible. Cooper serves as the regional Trauma Center for southern New Jersey including Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Mercer, Ocean and Salem counties and acts as a resource for the Level II Trauma Centers in our region. A Level I Trauma Center cares for severely injured patients involved in motor vehicle crashes, falls, industrial accidents and acts of violence. Specially trained physicians and surgeons focus on the care of the trauma patient. On average, Cooper admits nearly 3,500 trauma patients each year, making it the busiest trauma center in New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n<p>Wendy A.

En los Estados Unidos, el trauma es la principal causa de muerte entre las edades de 1 a 46, y los choques de veh\u00edculos motorizados contribuyen significativamente a las muertes y lesiones relacionadas con el trauma.<\/p>\n<p>El National Highway Traffic Safety Council public\u00f3 recientemente estad\u00edsticas aleccionadoras que muestran un aumento del 5% en accidentes fatales en Nueva Jersey en 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA pesar de la pandemia, que result\u00f3 en que m\u00e1s personas se quedaran en casa y menos en la carretera, en realidad vimos m\u00e1s choques y colisiones fatales el a\u00f1o pasado\u201d, dijo <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 Center of Trauma Services en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. Cooper es el sistema principal de salud acad\u00e9mico y el \u00fanico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/level-1-trauma-center\">Centro de Trauma de Nivel 1<\/a> en el sur de Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>Seg\u00fan el Dr. Porter, la raz\u00f3n de este aumento en los choques fatales es el comportamiento de riesgo de los conductores, incluido el exceso de velocidad, no usar el cintur\u00f3n de seguridad, conducir bajo la influencia de drogas o alcohol y el uso del tel\u00e9fono celular mientras se conduce. A medida que se levanten m\u00e1s restricciones pand\u00e9micas, se predice que a\u00fan m\u00e1s personas estar\u00e1n en las carreteras este verano. Ya sea que viaje lejos o permanezca local, solo se necesitan unos pocos momentos de descuido para que ocurra una tragedia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespu\u00e9s de un a\u00f1o desafiante, queremos que todos disfruten de los meses de verano, pero que lo hagan de manera segura\u201d, dijo el Dr. Porter. &#8220;Un m\u00ednimo de precauci\u00f3n evitar\u00e1 que usted o un ser querido se convierta en una estad\u00edstica en nuestro centro de trauma&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Primero, adopte una pol\u00edtica de tolerancia cero de conducir o permitir que otros conduzcan intoxicados. El alcoholismo est\u00e1 involucrado en aproximadamente un tercio de todas las muertes de veh\u00edculos. Designe un conductor sobrio para asegurarse de que los invitados lleguen a casa de manera segura despu\u00e9s de las fiestas o reuniones. El alcohol, los medicamentos recetados y de venta libre y las drogas ilegales pueden causar deterioro.<\/p>\n<p>Adem\u00e1s, aseg\u00farese de que el conductor guarde su tel\u00e9fono celular. Si bien pueden ocurrir muchas distracciones mientras se conduce: personas que giran o se detienen repentinamente, animales que corren hacia las carreteras, etc. \u2013 Los tel\u00e9fonos m\u00f3viles son uno de los culpables principales de los accidentes automovil\u00edsticos relacionados con la conducci\u00f3n distra\u00edda. Para evitar la tentaci\u00f3n de mirar su tel\u00e9fono, d\u00e9selo a otro pasajero para que lo sostenga o lo ponga fuera de su alcance o en el asiento trasero. Si debe hacer una llamada, det\u00e9ngase en un lugar seguro y estaci\u00f3nese antes de usar su tel\u00e9fono.<\/p>\n<p>Cuando planifique su viaje, aseg\u00farese de dormir bien por la noche antes de partir y evite conducir con sue\u00f1o, aconseja el Dr. Porter. Salga temprano, planifique con anticipaci\u00f3n para el tr\u00e1fico pesado y det\u00e9ngase ocasionalmente para ayudar a evitar la fatiga al conducir. Antes de partir, aseg\u00farese de que todas las personas en el veh\u00edculo est\u00e9n abrochadas correctamente, sin importar cu\u00e1n larga o corta sea la distancia recorrida. Nunca permita que los ni\u00f1os viajen en un autom\u00f3vil sin control o en la falda de un adulto o un ni\u00f1o mayor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sobre el Centro de Trauma<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>El Trauma Center de Cooper University Hospital se estableci\u00f3 en 1982 y es uno de los tres \u00fanicos centros de trauma de nivel I designados por el estado de Nueva Jersey verificados por el Colegio Estadounidense de Cirujanos, el mayor reconocimiento nacional posible. Cooper sirve como el Centro de Trauma regional para el sur de Nueva Jersey, incluidos los condados de Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Mercer, Ocean y Salem y act\u00faa como un recurso para los Centros de Trauma de Nivel II en nuestra regi\u00f3n. Un Centro de Trauma de Nivel I atiende a pacientes con lesiones graves involucradas en choques de veh\u00edculos motorizados, ca\u00eddas, accidentes industriales y actos de violencia.
