A case is described of near fatal aspiration of a child's dummy. This caused extensive injuries to the mouth and pharynx and acute respiratory embarrassment necessitating admission to a paediatric intensive care unit, and multi-disciplinary assessment. A design fault in the dummy is discussed, and it is recommended that the British Standards specification for dummies be changed. Finally, the issue of non-accidental injury is discussed, with the suggestion that injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth and pharynx be treated with the same degree of suspicion as any other childhood injury.
本文描述了一例儿童安抚奶嘴导致近乎致命误吸的病例。这对口腔和咽部造成了广泛损伤，并引发急性呼吸窘迫，患儿因此被送入儿科重症监护病房并接受多学科评估。文中讨论了安抚奶嘴的设计缺陷，并建议更改英国安抚奶嘴标准规范。最后，对非意外伤害问题进行了讨论，提出对于口腔和咽部软组织损伤应与其他儿童期损伤一样予以同等程度的怀疑。
