Article Synopsis
- The rise in electric scooter (e-scooter) use has led to an increase in injuries, primarily minor ones from accidents that do not involve other vehicles or falls from heights.
- A study at Dankook University Hospital collected data from 50 patients injured in isolated e-scooter accidents, revealing that 76% of these injuries were classified as nonemergency, with few requiring intensive care or surgery.
- The findings indicate that while many injuries are minor, some can be severe, leading to ICU admissions and even death, highlighting the need for physicians to better assess the severity of e-scooter-related injuries.
