Assessment of Injuries
Assessment of Injuries
• Primary target zone: 70% of injuries will be located on the
posterior, shoulders to back of legs. This area is well protected
and hidden from view
• Configuration: Bruises in specific pattern that might resemble the
instrument used, ex. Hand, belt buckle, wire, coat hanger, etc.
• Cluster bruises: indicated repeated contact with a hand or
instrument.
• Bruises which are found on more than one side of body.
Assessment of Injuries
• Angle of attack, will tell you how victim was positioned in regard
to the perpetrator.
• Bite marks, pinch marks, hair pulled out. If more than 3cm, an
adult bite.
• Defense marks. Forearms held out to protect buttocks, etc. Grab
marks look underneath the arms.
Students remember as we progress through injuries and
become angry with abusers, that children love their
parents and we need to keep this in perspective
Burns
1. Immersion burns indicating dunking in a hot liquid. “Stocking”
burns on the arm or legs, “Doughnut” shaped burns on the
buttocks; any burn which stops at distinct boundry line.
2. Cigarette burns have a crater appreance.
3. Dry burns(no blisters)
Lacerations & Abrasions
1. Loop type as in electrical cords
2. Wraparound caused by belts
3. Buckle impressions
4. Attempt to locate instrument causing injury(be creative)
Internal Injuries/Pummeling
1. Blows to the body may cause serious internal injuries to the
liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, and other vital organs.
Occasionally these injuries may cause shock and result in death.
Lethal abdominal trauma in children requires forces comparable
to a motor vehicle running over them. Most children who die of
this have had significant delays in medical care. This is the
second leading cause of death for victims of child abuse.
Internal Injuries/Pummeling
Detectable surface evidence of such trauma is rarley present.
Evidence of such trauma includes:
• Distended abdomen
• Blood in urine
• Vomiting
• Abdominal pain
