Summer is a high incidence period for various traumatic events, and preventing accidental injuries in children cannot be ignored. Children should not forget about safety during their happy holidays. In response to the higher incidence of accidental injuries, how to prevent them and what to pay attention to, the reporter interviewed relevant departments and clinical medical experts. 1、 The Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated that drowning is a common and serious type of child safety accident. Drowning incidents occur not only in rivers, lakes, and seas, but also in places with water, such as swimming pools, pools, ditches, ponds, rivers without protective fences, water tanks, bathtubs, etc. Special reminder: Parents and schools should educate their children to stay away from unattended waters, not to swim alone or in groups in unattended waters, or to play and play in the water, and not to eat in the water; When accompanied by parents, it is essential to fulfill the duty of care and not focus on mobile phones or other affairs; Children should be taught basic swimming and self rescue methods, as well as how to recognize warning signs around lakes, rivers, and water bodies. 2、 Wang Quan, Director of the Intensive Care Department of Beijing Children's Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University, said that if driving, it is necessary to ensure the safety and reliability of the transportation, avoid fatigue driving, and prevent drunk driving. When taking a car, regardless of the distance, parents should not hold their children, let alone drive with them. Parents need to equip and correctly use child safety seats, seat cushions, or seat belts based on the child's age, height, and weight when riding a car. Special reminder: Parents should educate their children to abide by traffic rules, walk at zebra crossings, look at traffic lights, etc. when crossing the road, and fulfill their responsibility to take care of and supervise their children's road traffic behavior; Choose safe, stable, and reliable transportation for children, avoid using illegal and unsafe transportation, and actively use safety seats, seat belts, and helmets. 3、 According to the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention, falls also account for a certain proportion of child safety accidents, and the most common place of occurrence is not outdoors, but at home. Wang Quan said that children are prone to head injuries after falling. The younger a child is, the greater the proportion of their head to their body. So, the younger the child, the higher the probability of their head being injured after falling. Special reminder: Parents should promptly remove debris on the floor and steps of their home that can easily trip their children, such as toys, wrinkled carpets, and electrical wires on the floor. The children's play area should be kept bright enough; Tables and chairs should not be placed on balconies and windows to prevent children from climbing. Protective devices should be installed on windows at home. Keep the floor of the home not wet and slippery, and lay non slip mats or tiles on the bathroom; Do not give children shoes that do not fit their feet or pants that are too long. Pay attention to cultivating correct exercise habits in children. 4、 Children with burns have delicate skin and are more prone to deep burns than adults. Wang Yanni, chief physician of the Burn and Plastic Surgery Department at Beijing Children's Hospital, said that pediatric burns are mainly caused by small and medium-sized hot liquid burns. After burns, immediate cold treatment measures should be taken to prevent heat from continuing to act on the wound and deepening it. The earlier the cold treatment, the better the effect. Special reminder: Parents should be vigilant and keep corrosive items such as pipeline blockers, quicklime, ammonia, etc. properly, and place them out of reach of children; After children's skin comes into contact with corrosive substances, they should be promptly rinsed with a large amount of low water pressure and warm water at a moderate temperature. Parents should avoid applying red medicine, purple medicine, sesame oil, toothpaste, etc. indiscriminately. Do not tear blisters or apply ice directly, as this not only contaminates the wound but also affects the doctor's judgment of the injury; Be vigilant that a small number of chemical substances may undergo harmful exothermic reactions or produce dangerous by-products upon contact with water. Therefore, they cannot be immediately rinsed with water, including dry lime, phenol, and some metals such as potassium and sodium. (Lai Xin She)
