Annually, 20,000 children are injured while operating all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). The purpose of this paper was to review child-ATV injuries in Arkansas and identify any areas in need of further investigation. An analysis of emergency-medical-service transports was done for children 0-19 years who had ATV-related injuries in Arkansas from 1998 to 1999. Prehospital-reported child-ATV emergencies were identified, separated by county, and emergency encounter rates were calculated. Our results indicate that emergency medical services (EMS) transported 319 children in Arkansas from 1998 to 1999. ATV injury information is limited in Arkansas, but available data indicate high injury rates existed for many rural counties.
每年有20000名儿童在操作全地形车（ATV）时受伤。本文的目的是回顾阿肯色州儿童ATV受伤情况，并确定任何需要进一步调查的领域。对1998年至1999年在阿肯色州发生与ATV相关伤害的0至19岁儿童的紧急医疗服务运输情况进行了分析。确定了院前报告的儿童ATV紧急情况，按县进行分类，并计算了紧急遭遇率。我们的结果表明，1998年至1999年期间，阿肯色州有319名儿童通过紧急医疗服务（EMS）转运。阿肯色州的ATV伤害信息有限，但现有数据表明许多农村县的伤害率很高。
