The medical records of all children with household electrical injuries were reviewed. The children were seen from 1980 to 1986 at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. Injuries occurred predominantly in children younger than age 6 years, most commonly while meals were being prepared. The most frequent cause of injury was oral contact with electrical cords or cord sockets, or contact with wall sockets either directly or via conductive foreign objects such as keys or pins. Data reported to the Consumer Product Safety Commission were also analyzed and corroborated our findings. We suggest a series of prevention strategies based on these data. A new wall outlet cover design is described.
我们回顾了所有家庭电气伤害儿童的病历。这些儿童于1980年至1986年期间在费城儿童医院和巴尔的摩的约翰霍普金斯医院接受诊治。受伤儿童主要为6岁以下，最常见的受伤时间是在准备饭菜时。最常见的受伤原因是口腔接触电线或插座，或直接接触墙壁插座，或通过钥匙或大头针等导电异物接触墙壁插座。我们还分析了向消费品安全委员会报告的数据，这些数据证实了我们的发现。基于这些数据，我们提出了一系列预防策略。本文还描述了一种新型墙壁插座盖的设计。
