The sales of foot-propelled scooters in the United States has skyrocketed with a concomitant increase in emergency department visits related to injuries. It is estimated that more than 60% of injuries could be prevented or reduced in severity if protective gear had been worn. Pediatric nurses should support efforts to decrease scooter-related injuries in children by advocating for the usage of protective gear. Further research is indicated to assess knowledge of potential dangers in those with reported scooter-related injuries, the extent of injuries, and protective gear worn prior to injury occurrence.
在美国，脚踏滑板车的销量急剧上升，与此同时，与受伤相关的急诊就诊人数也在增加。据估计，如果佩戴了防护装备，超过60%的伤害可以预防或减轻严重程度。儿科护士应通过倡导使用防护装备来支持减少儿童滑板车相关伤害的努力。需要进一步研究来评估报告有滑板车相关伤害的人群对潜在危险的认知、伤害程度以及受伤前佩戴的防护装备情况。
