To characterize children's bunk bed-related injuries.
Data are from the 2001-2004 National Electronic Injury Surveillance System - All Injury Program. Cases were defined as children aged 0-9 years treated for a non-fatal, unintentional injury related to a bunk bed.
An estimated 23 000 children aged 0-9 years were treated annually in emergency departments for bunk bed fall-related injuries, including 14 600 children aged <6 years. Overall, 3.2% were hospitalized. The injuries sustained were largely fractures, lacerations, contusions and abrasions, and internal injuries, with 25.2% injured in a fall from the top bunk. The most commonly injured body region was the head and neck.
Strategies are needed to reduce the most serious injuries. Bunk beds should meet CPSC standards, and the youngest children should not sleep or play in the upper bunk or on ladders. Making care givers aware of the risks, and modifying the living environment are essential.
描述儿童与双层床相关的伤害情况。
数据来自2001 - 2004年国家电子伤害监测系统 - 所有伤害项目。病例定义为0至9岁因与双层床相关的非致命意外伤害接受治疗的儿童。
估计每年有23000名0至9岁儿童因双层床跌落相关伤害在急诊科接受治疗,其中包括14600名年龄小于6岁的儿童。总体而言,3.2%的儿童住院治疗。受伤类型主要为骨折、撕裂伤、挫伤和擦伤以及内伤,25.2%的儿童从上层床跌落受伤。受伤最常见的身体部位是头部和颈部。
需要采取策略以减少最严重的伤害。双层床应符合消费品安全委员会标准,最小的儿童不应在上层床或梯子上睡觉或玩耍。让照顾者了解风险并改善生活环境至关重要。
