To quantify and describe trampoline-related injuries in children attending an urban pediatric emergency department.
Retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients attending a children's emergency department with trampoline-related injuries over a 3-month period (May-July 2005).
One hundred and sixty-eight children were treated for trampoline-related injuries during the period reviewed. Sixty-three percent were girls. Their age ranged between 4 months and 16 years (mean, 10.4 years [SD, 3 years and 10 months]). Lower limb injuries (51%) were more common overall. The most common injuries were to the ankle (31%), followed by foot (9.2%), and neck (8.4%). Sprain or soft tissue injuries (68%) were the most common type of injury, followed by fracture (12.2%). The most common mechanism of injury was inversion of the ankle on a trampoline (18.4%).
Trampoline-related injuries represented 2.5% of morbidity from accidental trauma in children presenting to emergency department in our study. The rate and severity of injury has become a significant public health concern. It appears that current preventative strategies are inadequate in making children's carers aware of the potential risks of trampoline use, particularly when used recreationally.
对城市儿科急诊科收治的儿童蹦床相关损伤进行量化和描述。
对2005年5月至7月这3个月期间在儿童急诊科因蹦床相关损伤而连续就诊的患者进行回顾性队列研究。
在所回顾的期间内，168名儿童因蹦床相关损伤接受了治疗。其中63%为女孩。年龄范围在4个月至16岁之间（平均10.4岁[标准差，3岁10个月]）。总体而言，下肢损伤（51%）更为常见。最常见的损伤部位是脚踝（31%），其次是足部（9.2%）和颈部（8.4%）。扭伤或软组织损伤（68%）是最常见的损伤类型，其次是骨折（12.2%）。最常见的损伤机制是在蹦床上脚踝内翻（18.4%）。
在我们的研究中，蹦床相关损伤占急诊科收治的儿童意外创伤发病率的2.5%。损伤的发生率和严重程度已成为一个重大的公共卫生问题。目前的预防策略似乎不足以让儿童护理人员意识到使用蹦床的潜在风险，尤其是在娱乐性使用时。
