We have seen increasing numbers of children who present with serious burns related to camping and outdoor cooking, prompting this 5-year review. Of 34 children (21 boys and 13 girls), with an average age of 5.2 years (4 months to 17 years) and average burn size of 15% (1% to 98%) cared for (4 as outpatients and 30 as inpatients), there was one fatality (3%). Mechanisms of injury included falling into free pits, throwing flammables into grills or pits, placing hands on hot objects in or near a fire, walking or falling into hot embers from an extinguished fire, spills from insect repellant candies, tent fires, burning of paper eating utensils, and cooking scalds. We have initiated a directed prevention program with the regional state park systems.
我们发现,因露营和户外烹饪导致严重烧伤的儿童数量不断增加,因此进行了这项为期5年的回顾性研究。在34名儿童(21名男孩和13名女孩)中,平均年龄为5.2岁(4个月至17岁),平均烧伤面积为15%(1%至98%),其中4名作为门诊患者接受治疗,30名作为住院患者接受治疗,有1例死亡(3%)。受伤机制包括掉入明火坑、将易燃物扔进烤架或火坑、将手放在火中或火附近的热物体上、从熄灭的火中走过或掉入热余烬、驱虫糖果溢出、帐篷起火、纸质餐具燃烧以及烹饪烫伤。我们已经与地区州立公园系统启动了一项定向预防计划。
