A 35-year-old male patient was involved in a high-speed motor vehicle collision and was ejected from the vehicle. He presents to the emergency department with altered mental status, hypotension, and multiple visible injuries. What is the most likely type of injury pattern you would expect due to the described mechanism of injury?
Musculoskeletal injuries with potential internal bleeding
In high-speed motor vehicle collisions, especially when ejection from the vehicle occurs, the patient is at a high risk for multiple severe injuries including traumatic brain injuries, internal bleeding, spinal injuries, and long bone fractures. The kinetic energy transfer from ejection usually leads to injuries in multiple organ systems.
