Abstract:
As a variety of the industrial accidents, we have experienced the paint-gun injuries at ship yard. Authors have experienced 17 patients (18 cases) of the paint-gun injuries at Okpo Daewoo Hospital, Daewoo Medical Foundation, Kyungnam from January, 1986 to September, 1992. After clinical and roentgenographical analysis, the clinical results were summarized as follows: The hand was the most common site (83.3%) among the upper extremity injuries, espicially right hand and we have had good results from the extensive debridement, curettage, prophylactic antibiotics and the penrose drain insertion in extensive injury cases, compared with minimal injury cases. However, we concluded that most of the cases in Paint-injures were preventalbe.
