Children’s accidental injuries refer to the damages to children’s health and life caused by unexpected events and accidents, including suffocation, drowning, car accidents, poisoning, burns, falls and animal bites, and so on. Every year, more than 50,000 children die in China due to injuries, which is the first cause of death for children aged 1 to 14 years old. Children’s accidental injuries are roughly divided into: home safety, transportation safety, burns, drowning, poisoning and foreign objects. Children’s home safety: In children’s home safety, falls top the list of non-fatal injuries, followed by bruises/crush injuries and cuts/puncture injuries, mostly occurring at home and in dormitories, with most falls occurring while engaging in recreational or sports activities. Many falls involve infants and toddlers falling out of windows or balconies resulting in death or serious injury. It is important to secure windows and balconies to ensure that children do not climb out. For young children, who may fall from any furniture that has height, always have an adult watching over them. Parents must make the necessary preparations and checks on their children before playing sports to prevent cuts/pokes. Keep household utensils with sharp points and small items such as scissors, knives, needles, pearl necklaces, pen caps, etc. out of the reach of children. Low tables in the home such as coffee tables are made with rounded corners on all sides or with impact protection, especially those made of glass. When a cut or puncture wound occurs, if it is a small wound, first clean the wound, then antibacterial protection, and finally use a band-aid to stop the bleeding and protect the wound, if it is a serious cut or puncture wound should be sent to the hospital immediately. Children’s Traffic Safety: Children’s traffic injuries are the second leading cause of unintentional child deaths in China. As the risk factors for road traffic injuries increase, this leads to a corresponding increase in road traffic injury mortality. Every 10 children’s road traffic injuries, there are 4 victims are children walkers, so special attention should be paid to children’s walking safety education, children under the age of 10 should not cross the street alone, walking should take the sidewalk, crossing the street, look at the traffic signals, take the crosswalk. Recognize the indicator lights of vehicles and pay special attention to safety when crossing intersections or crossing fast lanes. Pay attention to children’s bicycling safety guide as well. When driving with children, be careful not to let them sit in the passenger seat and never leave them alone in the car. Children’s burns: Scalding has a rising trend with age. 77% of children’s accidental scalds occur at home, and boiling water, boiling porridge, hot oil and hot steam are common causes of burns. Be careful not to leave young children alone in the bathroom. Cold water should be put in the bathtub before hot water, and adults should use their hands to test the water first before giving it to young children. Ignition devices (e.g., lighters, matches) should be locked in a drawer, and electric heaters should be kept away from children or fenced. Don’t let your child set off fireworks alone and buy safe fireworks. If you are unfortunate enough to be burned, you should be taken to the hospital for treatment quickly. Children drowning: In the hot summer, drowning is also a high season and must be given high priority by parents. When your child is near water and in water (including pools, heated pools, bath tubs, and near buckets), always keep a watchful eye on them, and danger may occur if you are negligent; do not let your child go swimming in a pool or pond without an adult, and wear a life jacket for your child whether on a boat or near water. Poisoning refers to the toxic effect of substances into the human body, causing damage to human organs, and a series of poisoning manifestations, is one of the main causes of accidental injury to children aged 1 to 14 years. It is one of the main causes of accidental injury in children aged 1 to 14. The main ways of poisoning in children are oral (accidental taking of medicines, disinfectants, etc.), dermal contact (contact with sulfuric acid, strong detergent, etc.) and inhalation (gas, chlorine, ammonia, etc.). Items that can cause poisoning should be managed and stored in places that are not easily accessible to children. Attention to grasp the drug safety “five keys”: safe storage ~ where your medicine storage; safe to take ~ follow the doctor’s advice or instructions; careful observation ~ the child accidentally taken, how do I know; the correct description ~ to help the doctor to confirm the diagnosis; the use of safe drugs. Children’s foreign body: children are curious, often encountered in the clinical foreign body accidentally inhaled into the trachea, swallowed into the gastrointestinal tract, stuffed into the nasal cavity, the external auditory canal, and even can be seen stuffed into the urinary tract of the child. When the child choking foreign body into the trachea, parents should not panic, first of all, should be removed from the nasal cavity and the oral cavity of the vomit or food debris, as soon as possible to the hospital emergency. If your child accidentally swallows something small, which is round and relatively small and can be discharged, pay attention to check whether the foreign body is discharged. However, if the child swallows a hairpin, pin, nail and other sharp objects, it is necessary to immediately send to the hospital for medical treatment, so as to avoid puncture and other dangers. Finally, it is recommended to prepare an emergency contact card for your child, if your child encounters an accidental injury, you can contact your parents according to the information on the card, but also according to the information on the card for timely emergency assistance, let’s work together to create a safer harbor for children!
