The domestic bathtub is an important site for infant drownings. A total population study of drowning and near-drowning accidents involving Honolulu infants has enabled the risks to be specified with greater detail. A series of seven consecutive bathtub immersion accidents is presented. The "at risk" profile comprises highly mobile families of lower socioeconomic status; usually younger siblings in larger families are involved and often the father had immediate care of the infant at the time of the accident. Another case of bathtub immersion as a form of nonaccidental injury is described. In five of the other six cases reported, the drowned child was left attended by an older sibling. Preventive strategies are discussed.
家庭浴缸是婴儿溺水的重要场所。一项对涉及檀香山婴儿的溺水及近乎溺水事故的全人群研究，使得能够更详细地明确相关风险。本文呈现了一系列连续七起的浴缸浸水事故。“高危”人群包括社会经济地位较低、流动性大的家庭；通常涉及大家庭中年龄较小的兄弟姐妹，且事故发生时往往是父亲直接照看婴儿。文中还描述了一例将浴缸浸水作为非意外性伤害形式的案例。在所报告的其他六起案例中，有五起是溺水儿童被年长的兄弟姐妹单独照看时发生的。文中还讨论了预防策略。
