Crush syndrome

Crush syndrome

Earthquakes, terrorist attacks, bombings. After the disaster, began the work of rescuers. One of the main risks for survivors buried for several hours is the crush syndrome or syndrome Bywaters. September 11, 2001, two planes crashing on the two tallest towers in New York (415 meters and 417 meters) in which 000 people work 50. June 1990, Iran, the earth trembles: 40,000 dead. 1940, Nazi Germany launched the "blitzkrieg" in England: the daily bombings, thousands of victims. The common point between these disasters is in one name: Bywaters. better known under the name of the crush syndrome.
Compression of muscles
"When we managed to pull the victim from his mound of earth, she seemed quite valid! Apart from some minor wounds to his legs, it seemed almost in top form. Fifteen minutes later she was dead." This testimony summarizes a first aid by itself harm syndrome Bywaters. The syndrome is named after the English physician who was the first to describe during the Second World War.
The syndrome is characterized by the burial "of the brain post-disaster related to 

compression of the lower limbs alone and the fear caused by the dramatic situation," reads the memoirs of the British doctor. Better known these days, this syndrome is actually the result of compression of muscles during a landslide. Crushed, these bodies produce toxins that will be released during the release of the victim. Risks while resident in the onset of kidney damage or even cardiac arrest.
Yards, beaches risk areas
If this syndrome is commonly associated with earthquakes and other earthquakes, it can appear outside of any natural disaster. The area of Building and Construction is thus one of the few environments where this syndrome is now mentioned. Each year, dozens of deaths on construction sites are well recorded under "Crush".
This syndrome may even meet ... along our beaches. "In summer, it is not uncommon to see some teens have fun in the sand to bury one of their comrades. The only compression of the legs can cause irreversible damage to some fragile individuals" explains a lifeguard rescuer of a seaside resort Var.
Psychological sequelae
If the Crush syndrome has consequences more or less short term, other effects can occur after several years. This is particularly true of psychological scars. Tremors, vomiting, respiratory failure, all characteristic symptoms of "sick earth" and can strike at any time after the tragedy no one identifies their cause completely. Compressed, trapped under the weight of the earth or other material, the victim accumulates almost unconsciously many psychological disorders. "Anxiety, anxiety while waiting for rescue, feeling trapped! All of these situations, the injured were seen for hours without being able to do anything," said Gilbert Bousquet Office Professional prevention and public works building (OPPBTP). Thus, for the survivors of a burial, we should remain vigilant long after the trauma
