An analysis of a consecutive series of 66 swimming pool immersion accidents is presented; 74% of these occurred in in-ground swimming pools. The estimated accident rate per pool is fives times greater for in-ground pools compared with above-ground pools, where pools are inadequately fenced. Backyard swimming pools account for 74% of pool accidents. Motel and caravan park pools account for 9% of childhood immersion accidents, but the survival rate (17%) is very low. Fifty per cent of pool accidents occur in the family's own backyard pool, and 13.6% in a neighbour's pool; in the latter the survival rate is still low at only 33%. In only one of the 66 cases was there an adequate safety fence; in 76% of cases there was no fence or barrier whatsoever. Tables of swimming pool accidents by age, season, site, and outcome are presented.
本文对连续的66起游泳池溺水事故进行了分析;其中74%发生在地面游泳池。与地面以上且围栏不足的游泳池相比,地面游泳池每池的事故发生率估计高出五倍。后院游泳池占游泳池事故的74%。汽车旅馆和房车公园的游泳池占儿童溺水事故的9%,但其存活率(17%)非常低。50%的游泳池事故发生在家庭自家后院的游泳池,13.6%发生在邻居家的游泳池;在后者中,存活率仍然很低,仅为33%。在66起案例中只有1起设有足够的安全围栏;76%的案例中没有任何围栏或障碍物。文中列出了按年龄、季节、地点和结果划分的游泳池事故表。
