Unintentional injury is the leading cause of death in children under the age of fourteen. The majority of these injuries/deaths occur when the child becomes airborne during an accident. The most common mechanisms by which children become airborne are motor vehicle collisions, bicycling accidents, and falls. A head injury is seen in a significant number of children in this setting. This includes injury to the scalp, skull, coverings of the brain, or the brain itself. These injuries are the most common cause of death in children resulting from unintentional injury. Other typical injuries include external bruises and abrasions, extremity fractures, and bruising or bleeding of internal organs. We propose to name this constellation of injuries the projectile child syndrome. This refers to those injuries occurring in infants and children as a result of becoming airborne during the events of an accident. The pattern of injuries seen as related to the anatomy of the child is stressed. A review of the impact to society and guidelines for prevention are presented.
意外伤害是14岁以下儿童死亡的主要原因。这些伤害/死亡事件大多发生在事故中儿童被抛起时。儿童被抛起的最常见机制是机动车碰撞、自行车事故和跌倒。在这种情况下，大量儿童会出现头部受伤。这包括头皮、颅骨、脑被膜或脑本身的损伤。这些损伤是儿童意外伤害导致死亡的最常见原因。其他典型损伤包括外部擦伤和挫伤、四肢骨折以及内脏器官的瘀伤或出血。我们建议将这种损伤组合命名为抛射儿童综合征。这指的是婴儿和儿童在事故过程中被抛起而导致的损伤。强调了与儿童解剖结构相关的损伤模式。还介绍了对社会的影响以及预防指南。
