Abstract: Introduction: Trauma due to motor incidents in San Luis during the period 2007-2009 increased the number of deaths due to this cause. Objective: To analyze the specific causes of morbidity and mortality due to motor incidents (external causes) in the city of San Luis and in the Intensive Care Unit from San Luis Hospital during the period 2007-2009. Material and methods: Observational retrospective study of records of secondary data from the period 2007-2009. An urban area and a sub-urban one were elaborated due to the differences in the production mechanism. The type of accident refers to chapter XX and injury category refers to chapter XIX of ICD-10. Results: Mortality increased gradually in the three years in “urban areas”. The first cause of injury was cranioencephalic trauma (CET) and the motorbike was the main vehicle involved in motor incidents. At the ICU from Hospital San Luis, mortality of 25.81% was registered (41.65% within age range between 25- 44). Hospitalization due to this cause (CET) represented 80.65%, followed by 12% due to multiple traumas. Ninety percent of the patients admitted in the ICU had no social coverage.
