Resumen en inglés BACKGROUND: To compare main trauma mechanisms, main injuries and severity of patients&rsquo; conditions. METHODS: A retrospective study of 1486 records of trauma patients treated at the Firefighters&rsquo; Rescue Unit in Catanduva, Sao Paulo, from January 1997 to December 2003. Assessment was based on the following criteria: injuries, Revised Trauma Score, and trauma mechanisms. The variables were expressed in percentages and evaluated by X² Test. RESULTS: The most frequent accidents were motorcycle related (42% of the total). The most affected segments were the lower limbs and pelvis (32%). 88% of the patients had superficial injuries. Most patients had RTS6 for all types of accidents except for those related to large truck, in which 25% of the victims had RTS<2. If we ignore motor vehicle accidents, 63.4% were falls. There was association between trauma mechanisms and injured segment of the body (p <0.01). The lower limbs/pelvis were the most affected body parts in accidents involving people hit by cars and motorcycle accidents. The head/neck were injured in agressions, falls, and accidents involving large trucks and cars. Cyclists had similar head/neck and lower patients limb/pelvis injuries. CONCLUSION: The majority of trauma patients in Catanduva were victims of motorcycle accidents. The part of the body most frequently injured was the the lower limbs/pelvis. Most patients had superficial injuries characterized as mild trauma
