Vascular injury presents a great challenge to the emergency resident because these injuries require urgent intervention to prevent loss of life or limb. Sometimes serious vascular injury presents with only subtle or occult signs or symptoms. The patient may present weeks or months after initial injury with symptoms of vascular insufficiency, embolization, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula etc. Although the majority of vascular injuries are caused by penetrating trauma from gunshot wounds, stabbing or blast injury, the possibility of vascular injury needs to be considered in patients presenting with displaced long bone fractures, crush injury, prolonged immobilization in a fixed position by tight casts or bandages and various invasive procedures. iatrogenic vascular injuries constitute about 10% of cases in most series; however the incidence is an increasing trend because more endovascular procedures such as angioplasty and cardiac catheterization are being performed routinely.Civilian trauma is more frequently seen in young males. However, it can occur at any age due to road accidents, firearms, bomb blasts and diagnostic procedures. Most of the time, civilian trauma causes less tissue damage. There is an epidemic of vascular injuries in Kashmir valley because of problems in law and order in the past two decades. This review deals with the topic in detail.

“…All these observations are consistent with the findings of previous studies. [21,22] In our study we observed that since most of the attacks occurred near foot hills, patients had to travel a long distance (10 to 40 Km) to reach the nearest medical centre and 65 to 150 Km to reach our tertiary hospital. Besides the struggle by the victim at the time of attack makes the contaminated with dust, grass and also the oral cavity of the wild animals at times contaminated with numerous bacteria.…”

A B S T R A C T BACKGROUNDWild animal related injury is a serious health problem for people living in the foothills of the sub Himalayan terrain. Geographically the foothills are proximal to the tea gardens and the dense forests which in turn are in close proximity to human habitation. Thus, the tea garden workers and labourers as well as others are always at imminent threat from the abundant wildlife. The type of injury could be quite serious, sometimes grotesque and even life threatening. Though we regularly face various kinds of such injuries inflicted from wild animals, there are no studies regarding this very pertinent problem at hand. We wanted to evaluate the causes and treatment outcomes of wild animal injuries in the foothills of sub Himalayan terrain.

“…Metalik olmayan atış ürünlerinin (plastik mermi, göz yaşartıcı gaz kapsülleri vs.) düşük namlu çıkış hızına sahip olsa bile, en kontamine penetran yaralara yol açtığı vurgulanmış ve sonuçta metalik olmayan atış ürünlerinin kesinlikle daha az ölümcül olmadığı, yüksek oranda enfektif, sakatlayıcı ve hatta öldürücü potansiyele sahip bulunduğuna dikkat çekilmiştir (6).…”

“…Bazı kaynaklar, kapsüllerin metal olmayan köpük gibi yumuşak ve hızla soğuyan, zarar verme potansiyeli çok düşük maddelerden oluşturulması, kullanım talimatlarına tamamen uyulması, atış mesafesi ve açısına dikkat edilmesi, kullanacak görevlilerin iyi eğitimli olması ve özenle seçilmesi ile zararların önleneceğini ifade etmektedir (6). Ancak, hafif ve geçici yan etkileri olduğu düşünülerek yaygın şekilde kullanılan göz yaşartıcı gazlar ve bunların kapsülleri; organların, duyuların, fonksiyonların kaybıyla sonuçlanan ciddi yaralanmalara hatta ölümlere neden olabilmektedir.…”

ÖZETİlk olarak 1871 yılında üretilen göz yaşartıcı maddeler, 1990'lı yıllarda sprey ve bomba halinde gösteri kontrol ajanları olarak yaygın şekilde kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu tür maddelerin en sık rastlanan etkileri, deri ve mukozalar üzerine olan irritan etkileridir. Gaz kapsülleri, irritan etkilerinin yanında, direkt temas halinde travmatik yaralanmalara da neden olabilmektedir. Bu sunumda; yüzüne gaz kapsülü geldiği iddiası ile hakkında rapor düzenlenmesi istenen ve sağ gözde görme kaybı ile sonuçlanan bir olguya ait bulgular aktarılmaktadır. Bu tür gösteri kontrol ajanlarının etkileri, kaynaklar ışığında tartışılmakta ve neden olabileceği tehlikelere dikkat çekmek amaçlanmaktadır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Gaz kapsülü, göz yaşartıcı gaz, gaz bombası, gösteri kontrol ajanı.
