Table A1
Cervical vascular organ injury scale
*
Increase one grade for multiple grade III or IV injuries involving more than 50% vessel circumference. Decrease one grade for less than 25% vessel circumference disruption for grade IV or V.
Reproduced from Moore EE, Malangoni MA, Cogbill TH et al. Organ Injury Scaling VII: Cervical vascular, peripheral vascular, adrenal, penis, testis and scrotum. J Trauma 1996; 41(3):523–4. With permission from Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins.
Table A2
Chest wall injury scale
*
This scale is confined to the chest wall alone and does not reflect associated internal or abdominal injuries. Therefore, further delineation of upper versus lower or anterior versus posterior chest wall was not considered, and a grade VI was not warranted. Specifically, thoracic crush was not used as a descriptive term; instead, the geography and extent of fractures and soft tissue injury were used to define the grade. Upgrade by one grade for bilateral injuries.

Table A3
Heart injury scale
*
Advance one grade for multiple wounds to a single chamber or multiple chamber involvement.

Lung injury scale
*
Advance one grade for bilateral injuries up to grade III. Haemothorax is scored under thoracic vascular injury scale.

Table A5
Thoracic vascular injury scale
*
Increase one grade for multiple grade III or IV injuries if more than 50% circumference. Decrease one grade for grade IV injuries if less than 25% circumference.
