To assist the Adelaide State Coroner with his inquest into the death of two infants in South Australia, and to assist the Department of Public and Consumer Affairs develop Australian Standards for rocking cradles.
A sample of each brand of new cradle commercially available in South Australia was examined. Videotapes were made of 11 healthy infants in rocking cradles to examine how they moved and how they reacted in different positions.
Many cradles had insecure locking pins. Infants in a cradle tilted at 10 degrees greater, face down with the side of the face against the bars, and an aim trapped between the body and bars or through the bars, were unable to obtain a clear airway unless a dummy was in the mouth.
Infants should never be left unattended in freely rocking cradles. Australian Standards should recommend locking pins be bolted into place and that cradles cannot tilt to greater than 5 degrees.
协助阿德莱德州验尸官对南澳大利亚两名婴儿的死亡进行调查,并协助公共和消费者事务部制定摇篮的澳大利亚标准。
对南澳大利亚市场上销售的每个品牌的新摇篮进行抽样检查。对11名健康婴儿在摇篮中摇晃的情况进行录像,以研究他们如何移动以及在不同姿势下的反应。
许多摇篮的锁定销不安全。摇篮倾斜10度以上、脸朝下且脸侧靠在栏杆上、头部夹在身体和栏杆之间或穿过栏杆的婴儿,除非口中含着假人,否则无法获得通畅的气道。
绝不应让婴儿无人看管地留在可自由摇晃的摇篮中。澳大利亚标准应建议将锁定销用螺栓固定到位,且摇篮倾斜度不得超过5度。
