Occupational High-pressure Injection Injuries: Pathogenesis and Prevention

A.R. SCOTT

National Coal Board South Nottinghamshire Area

Occupational high-pressure injection injuries are uncommon in the general population, although they are relatively common in certain occupational groups. The injury usually effects the hand. The entry wound is typically tiny and may be overlooked. Full recovery is unusual, especially if treatment is delayed. In many cases, the quality of treatment does not seem to greatly influence the outcome. Prevention is, therefore, of great importance. The education of workers, particularly those at risk, allied to the development of safer equipment, is the best way to achieve this.Requests for reprints should be addressed to: Dr A.R. Scott, National Coal Board, South Nottingham Area, ‘The Sycamores’, Moor Road, Bestwood, Notts, NE6 8UE.
