To describe thermal burns from radiators in the homes of children in the inner city and an intervention to decrease the risk for this pediatric injury.
Academic medical center in Chicago.
Case series of 10 radiator-related burns.
The burns described were found to be clustered in an area of a public housing project served by steam radiators. No burns were associated with hot water radiators. Just 14% of housing units with young children had adequate radiator covers and radiator pipe insulation. Radiator covers and insulation have now been replaced or repaired in all units of the 11 housing project buildings served by steam radiators.
Steam radiators in the home represent a particular childhood burn hazard. Community-based clinicians are in a unique position to recognize local patterns of injury and work with other agencies in injury control efforts.
描述市中心儿童家中散热器造成的热烧伤情况以及一项降低此类儿童伤害风险的干预措施。
芝加哥的学术医疗中心。
10例与散热器相关烧伤的病例系列。
所描述的烧伤集中在一个由蒸汽散热器供暖的公共住房项目区域。没有烧伤与热水散热器有关。有幼儿的住房单元中只有14%有合适的散热器罩和散热器管道隔热措施。在由蒸汽散热器供暖的11栋住房项目建筑的所有单元中，散热器罩和隔热措施现已更换或修复。
家中的蒸汽散热器是儿童烧伤的一个特殊隐患。社区临床医生在识别当地伤害模式以及与其他机构合作开展伤害控制工作方面具有独特地位。
