Health problems after a road accident?!


Question: Health problems after a road accident!?
I'm a fire/rescue volunteer in my home town!.!.!.

Earlier today I was called to a road rescue - to amoungst others, cut an elderly lady out of a rolled car (the car skidded, hit a tree front on, bounced off then rolled!.!.!.)

At the time, she was quite badly shocked - but in terms of physical injuries, it appeared to be limited to a nasty laceration on the head, cuts and bruises - and of course being cautious of the spine!.

We extricated her and she was taken to hospital seemingly stable!.!.!.

However one of my colleagues rang me tonight and let me know since that she's now in a critical condition!.

Assuming the ambos were correct on scene and she wasn't badly injured - what sort of post-accident problems could develop for an elderly lady to have such a downturn!?

I've never had a casualty go backwards like that!.!.!.!

But I would like to know!.!.!.to have an idea and hope she's ok!.

Thanks in advance!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Since you aren't aware of her Medical history, realize her condition might have nothing more to do with the accident than be accelerated by trauma!.
Does she have a known or unknown heart condition, known or unknown asthma or pulmonary disease!?
The accident caused the body to stress manifesting !.!.!.whatever!.

I'm certain she would be grateful for her life that you saved!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
