Inflatable amusement attractions, structures that are air-supported and inflated by a blower, have recently gained popularity. The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiology of inflatable-related injuries presenting to Canadian emergency departments.
The Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP) is an injury and poisoning surveillance system presently operating in the emergency departments of all 11 pediatric and 4 general hospitals across Canada. The CHIRPP was searched for cases of injuries associated with commercial inflatable amusement structures.
Overall, 674 cases were identified over the 20-year surveillance period, during which time the average annual percent increase was 24.6% (95% CI: 21.6, 27.7). Children aged 2 to 9 years were the most frequently injured (59.3/100,000 CHIRPP cases), and fractures accounted for 34.5% of all injuries.
A sharp increase in emergency department visits for injuries associated with commercial inflatable amusement structures has been observed in recent years. Injury mechanisms could be mitigated by product design modifications and stricter business operational practices.
充气式游乐设施，即通过鼓风机充气支撑的结构，近年来颇受欢迎。本研究旨在描述加拿大急诊科充气式游乐设施相关损伤的流行病学情况。
加拿大医院伤害报告与预防项目（CHIRPP）是一个伤害和中毒监测系统，目前在加拿大所有11家儿科医院和4家综合医院的急诊科运行。在CHIRPP中搜索与商业充气式游乐设施相关的伤害病例。
在20年的监测期内，共识别出674例病例，在此期间年均增长率为24.6%（95%置信区间：21.6，27.7）。2至9岁儿童受伤最为频繁（每100,000例CHIRPP病例中有59.3例），骨折占所有损伤的34.5%。
近年来，因商业充气式游乐设施相关损伤而前往急诊科就诊的人数急剧增加。产品设计改进和更严格的商业运营规范可减轻损伤机制。
