A retrospective review of 2,302 ambulance run reports from the Birmingham Regional Emergency Medical Service System indicated that 6% of all runs are for patients in the pediatric age group (less than 18 years of age). Injuries related to emergencies were responsible for more than 65% of pediatric runs, and 30% were related to motor vehicle accidents. Surprisingly, 8% of calls were for seizure disorders, a figure much higher than in the adult population. Approximately 38% of the runs involved children between the ages of 6 and 12 years. Significantly more male than female patients were involved. This descriptive epidemiologic study is antecedent to effective planning and implementation of pediatric prehospital care programs. Training of emergency personnel should be targeted toward treating motor vehicle injuries, seizures, poisoning, and upper airway obstruction in children.
对伯明翰地区紧急医疗服务系统的2302份救护车出诊报告进行的回顾性研究表明，所有出诊中6%是针对儿科年龄组（小于18岁）的患者。与急症相关的损伤占儿科出诊的65%以上，30%与机动车事故有关。令人惊讶的是，8%的呼叫是针对癫痫疾病，这一数字远高于成人人群。约38%的出诊涉及6至12岁的儿童。男性患者明显多于女性患者。这项描述性流行病学研究是有效规划和实施儿科院前护理项目的前提。急救人员的培训应针对治疗儿童的机动车损伤、癫痫、中毒和上呼吸道梗阻。
